Reports in France claim Crystal Palace could reignite their interest in forward Alassane Plea after news that Borussia Monchengladbach will allow him to leave for a knockdown price.
The 28-year-old has been with Die Fohlen for three years after Gladbach paid Nice €25m for his services. The man with one France cap began well, with 12 goals from 28 Bundesliga starts and 34 appearances in 2018-19. He also won his sole cap for Les Blues during that season, replacing Olivier Giroud late on against Uruguay.
But the Lille-born ace seemed to slip down the pecking order in the next couple of campaigns. He was seen on 27 occasions in the league, bagging 10 goals in 2019-20.
