Crystal Palace are leading the race to sign Djibril Sidibe this summer, according to L’Equipe, via Get French Football News.
The Monaco right-back has been the subject of interest from a number of clubs, including West Ham.
It is Palace who currently look the most likely to snap up the 27-year-old, however, as they look to fill the void left by Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has joined Manchester United.
Both the Eagles and West Ham are believed to be hesitant about making a bid, though, due to concerns about Sidibe’s knee.
Monaco are demanding €15 million for the defender’s services – a relatively small amount, given his pedigree.
Sidibe won the 2018 World Cup with France, although he wasn’t a fixture in the side during the tournament in Russia.
He also starred for Monaco when they sealed Ligue 1 glory back in 2016/17 and has made 113 appearances for them overall.
