Crystal Palace have been active in the African transfer market.
The Croydon Advertiser says Senegal international midfielder Stephane Badji was watched by Crystal Palace last weekend.
Reports in the national media suggested the player, who plays club football for Brann in Norway, was being tracked by the Eagles and Sunderland.
However, it is believed Palace were actually looking at someone else in the game between Senegal and Egypt.
