Crystal Palace are competing with AC Milan for Olympique Marseille midfielder Florian Thauvin.

Thauvin is a free agent in the summer and the Eagles are keen to land him as part of their rebuild, says The Sun.

Thauvin is interested in the Premier League but is also in pre-contract talks with Italian giants AC Milan - and they could offer big money.

The Marseille winger, 28, who had a mixed spell at Newcastle United, is looking for around £6million a year, which is stopping the chasing clubs from closing a deal at this point.

Watford speedster Ismaila Sarr is still Palace's first choice for the position but his price will soar if the Hornets go back up to the Premier League.
