Olympique Marseille coach Rudi Garcia is chasing Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye.

Garcia worked with Cabaye at Lille and is keen on a reunion this month.

France Football says the 31 year-old has welcomed OM's approach and is keen on a return to France.

Garcia is desperate to find a new midfield signing this month and has made Cabaye a priority target.

Palace boss Sam Allardyce could seek to cash in so to fund his own January transfer plans.
