Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has intensified their push to sign a new left-back.
The Daily Mail says Palace have made a £2.5million offer for Lille left-back Pape Souare.
Palace have asked about Neil Taylor at Swansea, Morocco left-back Achraf Lazaar of Palermo and discussed an ambitious move for Roma's Ashley Cole.
But they have settled on Souare as he will snub joining up with Senegal for the Africa Cup of Nations.
