Transfer report: Crystal Palace join race for ex-Manchester United and Newcastle winger Gabriel Obertan

Crystal Palace have joined AEK Athens and Bursaspor in the race for former Manchester United winger Gabriel Obertan.

The 27-year-old left Newcastle United in the summer to join Anzhi Makhachkala, but he could already be on the move again.

The Russian club are reportedly going through some financial trouble and they may have to start a fire sale.

Obertan is one of those who could be shown the door and, according to reports in his native France, that has alerted Crystal Palace.

Eagles boss Sam Allardyce is keen to add to his squad before the transfer window shuts and a wide man is on his shopping list.
