Crystal Palace and Everton are reportedly interested in signing Papa Alioune Ndiaye.
The Daily Mail are reporting today that Crystal Palace are the latest club to be monitoring Senegal international midfielder Papa Alioune Ndiaye, with a view to making a January move for the Osmanlispor man.
The Eagles are currently in all kinds of trouble, after losing six successive Premier League games, and currently sit in 17th position in the table, separated from 18th placed Hull City by goal difference alone.

And the Daily Mail claim that Palace boss Alan Pardew is looking at strengthening his options in January, and sent scouts to watch the 26-year-old during his side’s Europa League fixture against Steaua Bucharest last week – a game in which he scored.
The report claims Ndiaye could be available for as little as £6.8 million in January, with Everton also keen on securing his services.

The main concern for Pardew, however, will be that if his side continue to lose games, will he still be at Selhurst Park when the transfer window opens in January?
Ndiaye has made 49 appearances for the Turkish outfit since he moved to the club in August 2015.
