Crystal Palace are chasing Fiorentina striker Khouma Babacar.
Sky Italia says Palace have tabled a bid for the forward, though the size of the bid has not been disclosed.
Babacar has been a long-term target for Palace.
Palace boss Roy Hodgson has now given the green light to club chiefs to bid for the 24 year-old. Hodgson sees Babacar as cover for Christian Benteke.
