Crystal Palace are reportedly keen on signing the Fenerbahce midfielder.
According to Turkish media outlet Sabah, Crystal Palace officials are set to head out to Istanbul this week to hold talks with Fenerbahce bigwigs over the possibility of signing Ozan Tufan.
Palace finished in 11th spot in the Premier League table last season, but Roy Hodgson will undoubtedly have to bolster his ranks at Selhurst Park this summer, if he is to guide his side to a top 10 finish this season.
According to Turkish media outlet Fanatik, the south London outfit have already lodged a £2.5 million bid for the 23-year-old.

Tufan would undoubtedly be a useful addition for the Eagles.
He is most comfortable when operating in the defensive midfield role, but he can also fill in at right-back and attacking midfield if needed.
Sabah now claim that Crystal Palace officials will meet with Fenerbahce supremos in Istanbul this week, in an effort to thrash out a deal for the 39-capped Turkey international.
If they do in fact manage to sign Tufan for the reported fee of just £2.5 million, it would surely be considered as excellent business for the Eagles.
