Crystal Palace are believed to be leading the race to sign Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, The Sun reports.
The 20-year-old joined the Blues from Aston Villa in 2022.
Since then, Chukwuemeka has made 27 appearances for the west London club.
His contract at Stamford Bridge runs for another four years.
However, new manager Enzo Maresca is willing to allow the player leave for more playing time.
The England Under-21 international has been troubled by injury since signing for Chelsea.
Chukwuemeka endured two lengthy lay-offs due to a knee problem last term.
