Crystal Palace are again in talks with Fiorentina for Khouma Babacar.

Viola News says Babacar's agent Patrick Bastianelli has held talks with Palace representatives about a possible January move.

The Senegalese star agreed a deal to sign for Palace's bitter rivals Brighton during the summer but the move fell through at the eleventh hour.

Babacar is now ready to move to England - but would prefer to join a London club.

That rules out Chris Hughton's side and West Brom, who are also interested, paving the way for Palace to bring in some much-needed attacking threat.
