Sam Allardyce has revealed Crystal Palace's pursuit of Carl Jenkinson is 'hanging in the balance' and also hinted at frustration surrounding a potential move for Patrice Evra.
After recruiting Jeffrey Schlupp from Leicester the manager is attempting to further strengthen his team, but an agreement with Arsenal for full back Jenkinson is being delayed by negotiations with the player's agent.
Allardyce also did not dismiss an interest in Juventus' Evra despite Schlupp's arrival, but asked about the 24-year-old Jenkinson, responded: 'I think that's (down to) negotiations between the chairman and the player's agent.
'While we appear to have an agreement with Arsenal, that agreement with the player hasn't reached a conclusion, so that's hanging in the balance, as we say.
