Palace to reignite Diame interest

Crystal Palace are still interested in agreeing a deal for Hull City midfielder Mohamed Diame, according to the Mirror.

The Eagles were keen on agreeing a deal for the Senegal international last month though the Championship leaders weren’t willing to let him go.

Palace boss Alan Pardew is ready to chance his arm again when the transfer window reopens, and his hopes will be boosted should the Tigers fail to win promotion from the second tier.

Diame moved to the KC Stadium from West Ham United in the summer of 2014 and has so far racked up thirty-eight appearances for the Yorkshire club in all competitions, scoring eight goals – the last of which came in last month’s 6-0 trouncing of Charlton Athletic.

Steve Bruce’s men are currently ahead of second place Middlesbrough on goal difference with both sides tied on fifty-six points.
