Sunderland, Palace chasing Brann midfielder Stephane Badji

Brann midfielder Stephane Badji is attracting Premier League interest.

The Daily Mail says Crystal Palace and Sunderland are among the clubs monitoring Senegal international Badji.

The 24-year-old impressed scouts during his country's 1-0 victory over Egypt in Cairo on Saturday and is keen on a move to England.

The 6ft 3ins versatile midfielder was part of Senegal's Olympic squad in 2012 and plays for Brann in Norway but is understood to have a £600,000 release clause in his contract which has alerted Premier League clubs looking for a bargain.
