Marseille are reportedly interested in signing defender Pape Souare from Crystal Palace.
According to the printed edition of France Football, as covered in a report from Sport Witness, the Ligue 1 giants are keen to land the left-back.
Marseille are in need of a new left-sided full-back following Patrice Evra’s ban from football, as a result of him assaulting a fan prior to a match, leading to his release.
Souare has made a strong recovery from a broken leg he sustained in a car accident some time ago but doesn’t appear to be a favoured option at left-back for Palace. The Eagles have Jeffrey Schlupp and Patrick van Aanholt available in this position, too.
The Senegal international worked with Marseille boss Rudi Garcia during the pair’s tenure at LOSC Lille back in 2011. They worked well together, as the team won Ligue 1 in the 2010/11 campaign.
Palace are likely to be busy in the January transfer window, and Souare could be among those offloaded.
