London clubs Fulham and West Ham United reportedly want to secure the services of Crystal Palace midfielder Yannick Bolasie before the start of the new campaign.
The 24-year-old played a key role in Palace's promotion to the Premier League last season and was named in the Championship's Team of the Year.
That form has alerted Fulham and West Ham, who would have to pay around £2m for Bolasie's signature, according to the London Evening Standard.
The 2012 arrival from Bristol City still has two years left to run on his contract at Selhurst Park.
