Crystal Palace are in talks with Schalke over a fee for Ozan Kabak but face competition from several other clubs to sign the Turkey defender, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Liverpool.
Patrick Vieira is keen to add more depth to his squad having signed the England Under-21 defender Marc Guehi from Chelsea and believes Kabak could thrive in the Premier League given regular opportunities. Liverpool rejected the chance to sign buy the 21-year-old for an initial £18m after he made 13 appearances last season, with Ibrahima Konaté purchased from RB Leipzig instead.
