Crystal Palace are tracking French starlet Nathael Julan, reports say.

The 21-year-old plays for Ligue 2 side Le Havre, whose academy developed Manchester United star Paul Pogba.

Julan, who broke into the Le Havre first-team in 2015, has scored seven goals in 28 appearances and can play as a winger or striker.

Palace need cover in the wide areas after star man Wilfried Zaha was ruled out for a month with a knee injury.

Andros Townsend is likely to deputise for Zaha, but Eagles boss Frank de Boer wants more options with Lee Chung-yong and Bakary Sako out of the first-team picture.

The Express say Palace would face competition from Stoke and Championship clubs for Julan’s signature.

The young Frenchman would add much-needed competition to Palace’s frontline.
