# Crystal Palace reportedly keen on Yann M’Vila

Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in a deal to sign experienced French midfielder Yann M’Vila this summer.

According to claims from [France Football](https://www.francefootball.fr/news/Mercato-direction-crystal-palace-pour-yann-m-vila/897493), the Eagles are a potential destination for the holding midfielder player, who is currently plying his trade in his homeland with Saint-Etienne.

The 27-year-old has been a consistent performer for his side and it seems his form has piqued the interest of a number of clubs, including Palace.

M’Vila spent the first half of the season in Russia with Rubin Kazan before joining the Ligue 1 side in January. He has since went on to make 14 appearances for Saint-Etienne this season.

It’s claimed by France Football that contact between Palace and M’Vila’s representatives has already been initiated, indicating that a summer move could well be in the offing.

M’Vila has experience of playing his football in the Premier League, with the Frenchman previously flourishing at Sunderland under Sam Allardyce.
