Crystal Palace are looking to sign winger Yakou Meite from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports in France.
The 20-year-old has only ever made one substitute appearance for the PSG first-team and with a plethora of star-studded names in the champions’ line-up, it’s difficult to see where he would get game time if he stayed in Paris.
According to the report, he is interested in a move to England with Middlesborough also apparently keen on taking him.
The Ivorian U20 international was born and raised in France but chose to represent the country of his parents at international level.
His contract at PSG expires next summer so there is a possibility that the French side will sell him now to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
However, there is also reported interest from Serie A side Genoa, so it won’t be straight-forward for the Eagles to sign him if they decide to make a move.
Meite can also play as a centre-forward, and he scored four goals in 10 UEFA Youth League games, helping PSG to the final, where they ultimately lost to Chelsea.
