Palace linked with Cedric Bakambu

The French youth international managed seven goals in 31 appearances for the Ligue 1 side last season. Bakambu's form has led to interest from a number of clubs around Europe.

"I have offers, notably from Freiburg in Germany and in England from Swansea," he told France Football. "I am hesitating between the two.

"I am giving myself two to three days to decide, no more. I know that at Swansea I might not be first-choice striker. There are several things to consider, not just the prestige of the club.

"But I am flattered. I'm at an age [23] where I need to play. Crystal Palace are also interested, I think it will be between those three [Swansea, Crystal Palace and Freiburg]."
