Crystal Palace have reportedly been scouting Dijon winger Mounir Chouiar this season ahead of a possible summer swoop.
According to French outlet Le Foot, Palace have been tracking Chouiar, along with Watford and Bournemouth, and could make a move for him at the end of the season.
The report also claims that Dijon are prepared to demand €10m from any interested clubs, almost 12 months on from signing him for €3.5m from Lens.

Palace signing Chouair from Dijon this summer could help to bring the best out of Wilfried Zaha next season. Zaha has struggled at times this term and has only managed three goals and three assists in the Premier League, with no player pushing him for his place in terms of competition.
If Palace were able to bring Chouair in to compete with Zaha it could force the forward to up his game and improve himself. Chouair, if he performs well enough, could make Zaha concerned about his spot in the side and lead to him working harder than ever to make sure he is making an impact in the Premier League.
Chouair has racked up eight goals in all competitions for Dijon this season and averaged an impressive WhoScored rating of 7.30 in Ligue 1. This suggests that he could be a strong addition to Palace’s squad and provide some real competition in the wide areas to both Zaha and Andros Townsend.
