The free agent would surely be a useful addition for Crystal Palace.

Roy Hodgson manager

Crystal Palace experienced somewhat of a disappointing January transfer window, having brought in just Bakary Sako and Lucas Perri, but there is still an opportunity for them to bolster their ranks.

Roy Hodgson would surely have liked to strengthen his central defensive options before last night’s deadline, but alas, that failed to materialise.

An interesting option for Crystal Palacem however, could be Younès Kaboul, who is available on a free transfer.

The former Tottenham and Watford ace, 33, is a free agent after leaving the Hornets in December, and he could be a really useful addition for the Eagles.

Standing at 6ft 4in tall, the five-capped former France international is a powerful specimen, and he is incredibly strong in the air.

He would add solid cover to Palace’s back-line, but in truth, he is more than good enough to walk straight into Roy Hodgson’s side.

Kaboul also has extensive experience of playing in the Premier League – something that cannot be underestimated.

There would be little risk involved for Palace in bringing the centre-back to Selhurst Park, considering that he would not command a transfer fee.

The Frenchman is still at an age where he has a lot to offer, and signing him on a free transfer would surely be a no-brainer for Crystal Palace.
