Report: Crystal Palace monitoring Rennes winger Paul-Georges Ntep

Crystal Palace have expressed an interest in signing Rennes winger Paul-Georges Ntep, according to reports.

The 24-year-old France international is out of contract in the summer, and negotiations over a move to Wolfsburg have reportedly stalled.

As a result, the Evening Standard claims that the Eagles are monitoring the situation and preparing to launch a bid of their own, said to be in the region of £8m.

Ntep came through the Auxerre youth academy and spent two years in their first team between 2012 and 2014, before sealing a move to Rennes despite reported interest from Queens Park Rangers.
