Crystal Palace are chasing Sunderland striker Connor Wickham.
The Mirror says Palace are ready to offer Glenn Murray plus cash for Wickham.
Supremo Steve Parish and director of football Ian Moody are working on the surprise deal and hope to tempt Gus Poyet into an exchange.
Murray was back from a lengthy injury and on the bench for Palace at Arsenal - but he will slip down the pecking order if Wickham signs.
And the Eagles will let experienced Murray head for Wearside - plus around £6million in cash for Wickham, a name on the Palace wish list all summer.
