Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater is interesting Crystal Palace.

The Daily Mail says Palace boss Roy Hodgson is eager to boost his midfield and is interested in taking Drinkwater on-loan.

Hodgson is also monitoring German midfielder Max Meyer, who is a free agent after running down his contract with Schalke.

Meyer was a target for Liverpool and Arsenal earlier this summer, but his personal demands proved too rich.

Hodgson has confirmed he'll need to work the loan and free agency markets if they're to keep the current squad together.
