Crystal Palace are closing on a deal for Lille fullback Pape Souare.
The London Evening Standard says Senegal international Souare, who is at the Africa Cup of Nations, would cost around £3.5million.
Palace have targeted the signing of a left-back this month and are also interested in Swansea's Neil Taylor.
Souare is set to line up for Senegal against South Africa in a group game at the Africa Cup of Nations tonight. The 24-year-old was linked with Arsenal last season.
