Crystal Palace have revived their interest in Olympiakos midfielder Luka Milivojevic.
Manager Sam Allardyce is jumping between targets for the defensive midfield role he wants to fill before the January transfer window closes next Tuesday.
He has considered former Sunderland midfielder Yann M'Vila at Rubin Kazan and Everton's out=of-favour star James McCarthy but agreeing personal terms has proved complicated.
Milivojevic has also been discussed by Sunderland, West Ham and Watford with the Premier League's relegation scrappers desperately looking to beef up their squads.
