Crystal Palace have moved to secure Yohan Cabaye to a new deal.
Manager Roy Hodgson has been impressed with 32-year-old Cabaye, who has made 18 starts in the Premier League this season.
The Daily Mail says should Cabaye decide to stay at Selhurst Park, it would likely be a one-year contract with the option of an additional year.
Palace are in a race against time to come to an agreement. Cabaye is now free to speak to other clubs ahead of the expiration of his contract.
Since Hodgson came in, the former Newcastle man has been trusted with a creative midfield role.
