Sevilla midfielder Stephane Mbia is keen to return to England.
The Daily Mail says the Cameroon international holding midfielder is on a short-term contract with Spanish side Sevilla but has an agreement with the club that he can leave in this window.
Crystal Palace and Everton have already had tentative talks with his representatives and the 28-year-old is ready to make the move back to England where he has retained a flat in Chelsea.
Mbia had a spell at Queens Park Rangers in 2012 after joining in a swap deal that saw Joey Barton go on loan to Marseille.
His agent Jean-Paul Ndoumin said: "Stephane signed a short-term contract with Sevilla as he wanted the opportunity in this window to discuss a return to the Premier League. It is a league that excites him and one he believes is the most challenging and he likes a challenge.
"He feels the Premier League didn't see the best of him at QPR and he wants to put that right. He doesn't want to wait until the last minute he is ready to move now."
