Crystal Palace have settled on Graham Potter as their first-choice to succeed Roy Hodgson next season.

Palace are favouring replacing Hodgson this summer with a new permanent manager.

The veteran stepped in after the sacking of Patrick Vieira and led Palace to an impressive mid-table finish.

However, Palace now plan to replace Hodgson and former Chelsea manager Potter is their first choice, says the Independent.

But they face stiff competition, with Potter in talks with Nice and Tottenham also keen.
