Report: Former Chelsea midfielder Andre Schurrle on Crystal Palace, Fulham radar

Former Chelsea midfielder Andre Schurrle has been linked with a return to the Premier League amid reported interest from Crystal Palace and Fulham.

The 27-year-old spent two years at Stamford Bridge before returning to his native Germany in 2015 with Wolfsburg and current club Borussia Dortmund.

Schurrle has struggled for game time at the Westfalenstadion, however, and the Schwarzgelben have told the Germany international that he is free to join another club.

According to Kicker, the World Cup winner is highly rated by Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic, who wants him to bolster the West Londoners' ranks ahead of their Premier League return.

The report also claims that Dortmund hope to land Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, and are considering using Schurrle as a makeweight in a deal with the Eagles.

Chelsea paid Bayer Leverkusen £18m for Schurrle in 2013 but the German was used sparingly by the Blues.
