Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has confirmed the club are working on a deal to bring PSG midfielder Yohan Cabaye to Selhurst Park.

Cabaye is reportedly keen on a move back to the Premier League and is looking for guaranteed first-team action with Euro 2016 just a year away and his place in the France squad in doubt.

The 29-year-old excelled in his spell at Newcastle before moving to France, and a potential reunion with former Magpies’ and current Palace boss Alan Pardew could prove key in striking a deal.

Reports emerged last week of rumours linking the Eagles with the Frenchman, and Parish admitted a move would be a huge coup for his club.

“There’s definitely one we would like to do. It would be a massive thing for the club obviously,” the Palace chief told the Transfer Tavern.

“He’s a seasoned international, so it’s definitely one we are working on.”

Parish is hoping that securing a deal for Cabaye could help build on Palace’s impressive tenth-placed finish in last season’s top flight, but confesses the current transfer market is proving difficult to operate in.

He added: “Getting the top players is difficult. It’s a bit blocked up really, nobody wants to go first or set the valuation.

“For us to get into the top ten in the Premier League, we have to make sure we are bringing in top ten players.”
