Eagles eyeing Ivanovic on a free
Crystal Palace are thought to be interested in signing Chelsea star Branislav Ivanovic at the end of the season, who is available with his contract due to end.
The defender has found himself way down the pecking order since the arrival of Antonio Conte, and he doesn’t look set to be handed a new contract.
According to reports, a number of sides such as West Ham, AC Milan, Marseille and Chinese side Jiangsu Suning are all interested in signing the Serbian and there is a chance that they could make a move to get him for a small fee in January.
There’s a debate around whether he would even get into the Palace team, but he would still be a useful squad player for Alan Pardew.
