Crystal Palace are reportedly set to sign Olympiacos midfielder Luka Milivojevic, but could turn to the Huddersfield Town player instead or as well.
Crystal Palace have enquired about Huddersfield Town midfielder Philip Billing, according to the Daily Mail.
Palace are on the lookout for an imposing figure in the middle of the park and six-foot-five-inch Billing certainly fits that bill.
The 20-year-old Dane impressed for the Terriers last season, in what was his breakthrough campaign, although he has featured on just nine occasions in the Championship this term.

The Eagles are said to have agreed a deal to sign Olympiacos midfielder Luka Milivojevic ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, although manager Sam Allardyce is likely to have alternative options lined up.

Given Billing’s limited experience, however, it is possible that he is being considered as an additional recruit, and someone who could develop into a key player for Palace over the coming campaigns.

Palace are also thought to be on the lookout for a new centre-half and centre-forward before the 11pm cut-off, although reported defensive target Martin Caceres could still arrive at a later date as a result of his free-agent status.
Brentford striker Scott Hogan has also been linked with a move to Selhurst Park, but appears bound for Aston Villa instead.
