Crystal Palace are targeting a swoop for Fenerbahce central defender Martin Skrtel this month.
According to Turkish outlet Fanatik, via Sport Witness, Southampton, West Ham and Crystal Palace are all looking into the possibility of bringing the experienced defender in during the transfer window.
Skrtel joined Fenerbahce from Liverpool in 2016 and has been a key figure for the Turkish giants over the last two-and-a-half seasons.
He made over 200 Premier League appearances for Liverpool in a nine-year spell at Anfield and could provide an experienced head at the back for Roy Hodgson.
The 34-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, but Palace may look to secure a cut-price deal this month.
Hodgson worked with Skrtel during his time at Liverpool and could look to bring him in as a replacement for Mamadou Sakho, who has been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park.
