Crystal Palace are holding discussions over the signing of Alexis Vossah from Toulouse.
Fussball Europa believe the UEFA Conference League winners and Manchester United are in talks with those who represent the 18-year-old Toulouse star, after Chelsea saw a bid worth €8m (£6.8m) rejected in 2025.
Crystal Palace hold the advantage of recently negotiating a successful deal with Toulouse when signing Jaydee Canvot in a £16m move last August.
So, who is Vossah? Let’s take a look.

Crystal Palace could land another Jaydee Canvot in Alexis Vossah
The French side have a rich history when it comes to producing talent, having developed the likes of France international Manu Kone, Canvot, Jean-Clair Todibo, Amine Adli and Issa Diop in recent times.
Vossah looks set to follow in their footsteps.
At only 18 years of age, the France U19 international made 23 appearances in Ligue 1 for Toulouse last season, primarily playing in central midfield but also appearing in defensive midfield and in the centre of defence.
Vossah even managed to score against PSG.
The teenager is similar to Canvot in the fact that he too can play in either midfield or defence, and also emerged from the youth ranks at Toulouse – who own another Crystal Palace target in Charlie Cresswell.
However, the move could be expensive for Crystal Palace. Fussball Europa believe Toulouse want €25m (£21m) to sell the Frenchman, who is under contract until July 2028.
Vossah sounds like he could also be another Adam Wharton for the Eagles – who also like Dario Osorio – if not another Canvot.
Fussball Europa mention ‘excellent vision and ability to dictate the tempo’ as a ‘particularly noteworthy’ skill of Vossah’s – along with his ability to use both feet.
To be trusted enough to make 23 appearances in Ligue 1 at the age of just 18 and also play in different positions proves the Crystal Palace target is a prospect of real maturity.
Is Vossah talented enough to tempt Steve Parish into spending £21m on his services, however? Only time will tell.
