Crystal Palace are in discussions to re-sign striker Evanilson Guessand on a loan basis, according to reports from the BBC.
The south London club are keen to bolster their attacking options and view Guessand as a player who can make an immediate impact at Selhurst Park.
Guessand previously had a spell in England and impressed enough during his time in the country to attract renewed interest from Palace.
The club’s recruitment team has been working to identify attacking targets ahead of the remainder of the season, with this move fitting their profile.
A loan deal would allow Palace to bring in proven quality without committing to a permanent transfer fee in what remains a challenging financial environment.
The Eagles have been busy in the transfer market and this potential signing would represent another statement of intent from the club’s hierarchy.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner has been keen to add depth to his forward line, and Guessand’s potential arrival would provide the squad with greater versatility.
The French forward has the pace and physicality to suit the Premier League, making him an attractive proposition for a Crystal Palace side pushing up the table.
BBC Sport broke the news of the ongoing talks, suggesting that negotiations between the clubs involved are at a meaningful and advanced stage.
Palace supporters will be hoping the deal can be concluded quickly, with the club eager to have new arrivals settled and contributing as soon as possible.
Both clubs are believed to be working through the finer details of the agreement, with the structure of any loan arrangement still being finalised between the parties.
