Crystal Palace Set to Revive Interest in Fenerbahce Midfield Utility Man Ozan Tufan

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has identified Fenerbahce midfielder Ozan Tufan as a key transfer target. The London club are expected to send representatives to Istanbul in the coming week in the hopes of hammering out a deal for the 23-year-old.

According to Fotomac, Palace were chasing Tufan in the last transfer window with a potential deadline day deal falling through. Hodgson has continued to keep tabs on the Turkish international since then and was impressed with his performances last season in the Super Lig.

Tufan operates mainly as a holding midfield player but can also play as a right-back or on the right wing.
