Crystal Palace are lining up an £11million bid for Burnley striker Ashley Barnes who has 18 months left on his contract.
Barnes has been an unlikely target for Chelsea this window but is unlikely to join the reigning Premier League champions.
Roy Hodgson also remains interested in Lille's Ibrahim Amadou and West Brom midfielder Jake Livermore.
The Palace boss has already completed the signing of centre-back Jaroslaw Jach on a three-and-a-half-year deal earlier this week but is keen to bolster his defensive ranks with the addition of Amadou.
