Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr and could make a move if Wilfried Zaha departs this summer.
According to claims from The Guardian’s deputy sport news editor Ed Aarons via Twitter, the Eagles have identified the Senegal international as a possible transfer target.

Sarr was in productive form for Rennes last season. He scored eight goals and chipped in with seven assists in Ligue 1 while netting four and setting up another three in the Europa League.
It seems any move for Palace depends on whether or not Zaha leaves the club this summer. Everton have made the most recent bid, believed to be worth £55 million, but the Eagles are reluctant to sell their star man unless a premium price is coughed up.
Roy Hodgson’s side are not the only ones in the hunt for Sarr, though. Aarons reports that Watford are also keen on signing the 21-year-old.
