Olympique Marseille are showing interest in Crystal Palace's Yohan Cabaye.

France Football is reporting that Rui Garcia is eager to reunite with the midfielder at the Stade Velodrome.

The pair worked together at Lille between 2008 and 2011, before Cabaye left for Newcastle United.

It is understood that Cabaye, 31, could be persuaded to again work alongside Garcia but Palace boss Sam Allardyce is unlikely to allow the experienced France international to leave Selhurst Park as he strives to keep the South London club from relegation.
