Crystal Palace have held talks over a potential deal to sign Tottenham defender Jubril Okedina in the summer.
According to All Nigeria Soccer, via HITC, Palace are one of a number of clubs to have held talks with the defender.
Okedina is out of contract at the end of the season, which means he would be available to sign on a free transfer – with a potential tribunal fee.
The report claims that Tottenham are not prepared to offer him a new contract, which has attracted the attention of a host of clubs in England.
Ipswich and Swansea are the other two clubs said to be interested in the young defender.
Okedina has been a regular for the Tottenham under-18’s this season and is capable of playing at both right-back and centre-back.
The defender would likely move straight into Palace’s youth set-up, rather than competing for a first-team place.
