Crystal Palace are one of several clubs, including Aston Villa, said to be keen on the versatile Norwich City star.
Crystal Palace can be added to the list of Robbie Brady admirers, alongside Burnley and Marseille, according to the Sunday People.
The Sun reported that the Norwich City winger is a £10 million target for Championship rivals Aston Villa next month and the People adds that Steve Bruce would love a reunion with the player he managed at Hull City.
But Premier League and Ligue 1 interest could perhaps scupper the Villans boss’ plans.

24-year-old Brady has impressed with three goals and four assists in 19 Norwich league games this term, but is out of contract in 18 months time and his value is set to nosedive the longer he remains at Carrow Road without signing an extension.
Norwich will no doubt want to keep Brady as they look to secure an immediate return to top flight football, however, a run of seven defeats from their last nine matches has left the Canaries four points adrift of the Championship play-offs – and a hefty sale such as the Irishman’s could help to fund January reinforcements for manager Alex Neil.
Palace have no shortage of wingers, but will perhaps be attracted by Brady’s ability to cover left-back, where the Eagles are thin on the ground following Pape Souare’s injury.

Alan Pardew’s side sit precariously above the Premier League drop zone, however, following back-to-back defeats, and Brady may wish to wait until the end of the season before making a decision over his future.
Aston Villa endured a difficult start to life in the second tier, but had been gathering momentum under Bruce until very recently.
The Villans’ 1-0 win at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday leaves them six points behind sixth-place Sheffield Wednesday.
