Crystal Palace are eyeing Newcastle United defender Fabricio Coloccini.

The Daily Star Sunday says Palace boss Alan Pardew is weighing up a cheeky £2million bid for Newcastle skipper Coloccini.

The Argentina centre-back, 33, played under Pardew at St. James' Park and would be reunited with ex-Toon teammate Yohan Cabaye if he made the move.

France midfielder Cabaye, 29, was sold by Newcastle to Paris St. Germain 18 months ago for £19m during Pardew's reign.

But Cabaye has rejoined him at Selhurst Park in a deal that could rise to £13m.
