Crystal Palace are pushing to land Newcastle United attacker Moussa Sissoko.

The France international has been linked with the likes of Real Madrid and Arsenal.

However, Le 10 Sport says Palace have stepped up talks with Sissoko's minders in the last 24 hours.

The Londoners have been talking with Sissoko for some weeks, but are now intensifying discussions.

Palace boss Alan Pardew worked with Sissoko at Newcastle and is eager to bring him to Selhurst Park for the new campaign.
