Crystal Palace and West Ham United are going head-to-head to try and bring the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Yohan Cabaye back to the Premier League.
Both clubs have indicated they are willing to meet PSG’s £10 million asking price for the French international who has been told he can leave although Palace manager Alan Pardew’s strong relationship with the 29-year-old – who he coached at Newcastle United – may prove decisive.
Although Cabaye left Newcastle under difficult circumstances he maintained a good friendship with Pardew who wants to make him one of three significant signings at Palace this summer as the club aims to consolidate its top-flight status.
Palace have been in talks with PSG for some time but they are not going to have a free run at Cabaye with West Ham hoping that their potential – with the move to the Olympic Stadium next season and the arrival of Slaven Bilic as their new manager – could prove decisive.
Cabaye was signed for £19million by PSG from Newcastle in January 2014 but has fallen out of the first-team reckoning with the French champions having informed him he can find a new club.
Cabaye needs to re-establish himself as a regular first-team player having been warned that his he will not regain a place in the France squad – ahead of Euro 2016 – unless he does so.
