Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he wants to sign permanently Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha.
Cardiff host Palace on Saturday in a Premier League fixture with both teams desperate for a win to boost their hopes of avoiding relegation.
"We have had Wilfried coming on (against West Brom last Saturday), making an impact and - surprise, surprise - Palace want to sign him this week," said Solskjaer.
"I would like to sign him if we can. Wilf is a good player, but I don't think he is being drawn into this situation where it is suddenly brought up that his former club want to sign him just as he faced his old team. Palace is his past.
"Of course it (the situation) is (manufactured), but Wilf is fine.
"I have had words with him and he knows the game. I have not heard (Palace manager) Tony Pulis speaking about him. I am not sure if he is Tony's type of player."
