Premier League side Crystal Palace are interested in signing 19-year-old Mohamed Simakan, according to a report on GFFN.
The Strasbourg right-back has produced some impressive displays in the French top-flight this season and has caught the attention of the Eagles.
He’s understood to be valued at around €25m by the Ligue 1 side and is also attracting interest from fellow Premier League sides Southampton and Watford.
The defender can also operate as a centre-back and his versatility could prove to be an asset for Roy Hodgson’s men.

His €25m valuation shows just how highly-rated he is but Palace will certainly want to knock that price down significantly.
Strasbourg are expected to drive a hard bargain for one of their best talents and if he continues his good run of performances, then his price will only continue to increase.
Hogdson is looking for some defensive reinforcements and Simakan will provide good quality at full-back and centre-back.
