Crystal Palace are in advanced talks to sign Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda according to reports in France.
The French international is out of contract this summer and is available on a free transfer. The South London club are long time admirers of the player and have been tracking him for over a year.
Mandanda is presently on international duty with the French team at Euro 2016. To date, he has amassed 22 caps for Le Bleus.

But Tottenham may have a battle on their hands with news emanating from France today that PSG are also interested in acquiring the services of the young striker.
