Crystal Palace are reportedly one of the clubs interested in signing Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
The 32-year-old looks to have found himself well down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and it appears that he will exit the Blues in the near future.
According to the reports, a number of sides such as West Ham, AC Milan, Marseille and Chinese side Jiangsu Suning are all interested in signing the Serbian and there is a chance that they could make a move to get him for a small fee in January.
Ivanovic was one of the best defenders in the league in the not-too-distant past but those days seem to be behind him. However, he’s still a very good player and would give Alan Pardew the option of playing him either as a central defender or as a full-back.
Whether he’d get in the Palace team is debatable, but he’d certainly be a useful squad player at worst.
