Yohan Cabaye

According to reports from Brentwood Gazette, Liverpool and West Ham will both look to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye during the summer transfer window.  

The France international failed to make the grade during 18 months at PSG but has always impressed in the Premier League. He bagged 17 goals in 79 league appearances for Newcastle United before joining the Ligue 1 champions in January 2014 and has shown strong form since returning to the English top flight with Crystal Palace last summer.

Indeed, the 30-year-old has claimed five goals and one assist in 26 Premier League outings this season whilst averaging 3.2 tackles, 3.4 interceptions and 1.5 created chances per match, and that blend of culture and industry appears to have attracted interest from Liverpool and West Ham.

Indeed, Brentwood Gazette claim Liverpool have been plotting a £15million summer transfer bid for some time but now find themselves joined in the race for Cabaye’s signature by Premier League rivals West Ham. Slaven Bilic is reportedly a keen admirer of the former Lille playmaker and the regional newspaper even propose a swap deal involving alleged Palace target Michail Antonio.
