Crystal Palace have been linked with Manchester City’s Eliaquim Mangala and Liverpool’s Mamadou Sakho in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported by the British tabloid that the Eagles are eyeing a £23 million deal for the 26-year-old central defender.
Palace have turned their attention towards the France international centre-back after failing to secure the services of Mamadou Sakho from Liverpool, according to the report.
Liverpool are claimed to want as much as £30m in order to part company with 27-year-old France international defender Sakho.
Mangala joined Premier League giants City from Portuguese powerhouse FC Porto in the summer of 2014 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £32m.
Much was expected of the Frenchman when he arrived at the Etihad Stadium, but he has failed to make a massive impact and spent the 2016-17 campaign on loan at Spanish club Valencia.
Palace have made a disappointing start to the 2017-18 Premier League campaign and have lost all three of their league fixtures so far.
