Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis is pushing Stoke City to part with Steven N'Zonzi.
The Mirror says Pulis sees the 25-year-old midfielder as an ideal fit for the Londoners to bolster their squad for the forthcoming season.
N'Zonzi fell out of favour at the Potters towards the end of last season and remains unsettled with Pulis - who brought the player to the Britannia Stadium from Blackburn - ready to pounce.
Pulis has been frustrated so far in the transfer market but has been assured the backing is there from co-chairman Steve Parish.
