Surprising news broke on Monday evening when Paris Saint-Germain stopper Alphonse Areola was linked to a potential move to Crystal Palace.
Newcastle and Napoli were also sounded out as potential suitors, however it is claimed that Palace hold the advantage over their rivals in the hunt for the Frenchman.
According to France Football, Areola has bought a house in London, which is described as the 'city his wife loves'.
If any move were to materialise, the signing would prove quite the coup for the Eagles. The 25-year-old Frenchman has been PSG's first choice stopper this season, having usurped former no.
