Olympique Marseille midfielder Boubacar Kamara is interesting Crystal Palace.
The Sun says the midfield enforcer, 22, is a free agent this summer and has already held talks with Newcastle and West Ham.
Manchester United were also linked with a cut-price move in January.
Kamara's salary demands are huge but the Eagles' ambitious backer John Textor is ready to splash the cash to build on a good campaign under boss Patrick Vieira.
Palace are also tracking Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez, 24.
The Mexico star is first choice but his £30million-plus price tag might mean Palace focus on Frenchman Kamara, even though his wages will be higher.
