Crystal Palace are showing serious interest in Swansea manager Steve Cooper.

The London club were hoping to secure former Borussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre to replace Roy Hodgson ahead of the new Premier League season.

However, Favre turned down the job, leaving Palace without a manager for the moment.

According to The Sun, Cooper is now the favorite to take the job at the Selhurst Park club.

Cooper, who took Swansea to the playoff finals in the Championship last season, has a £3 million release fee within his contract.
