Crystal Palace have checked on Wigan Athletic's Max Power.

The 22-year-old has played an influential role in Wigan's promotion from League One this season, scoring six goals from midfield.

Power only joined last summer from Tranmere Rovers and his energetic performances have also alerted Brentford and Blackburn Rovers.

Palace finish their Premier League campaign away to high-flying Southampton on Sunday but it's very much a case of 'what could have been'.

Alan Pardew's men were labelled as European contenders earlier in the season but two wins in 2016 saw the Eagles slide down the table and into a relegation battle.

But victory over Stoke on Saturday confirmed their safety and now their attention turns to Manchester United in the FA Cup final on May 21.
