Crystal Palace eye international midfielder as they search for signing number five of the window

Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in Torino midfielder Sasa Lukic.

The Eagles are said to be keen on luring the Serbia international to England before the end of the month.

Lukic made 35 appearances in Serie A last season and found the net five times.

According to Tuttosport (via Sport Witness), Patrick Viera’s side have ‘made contact’ about his availability.

More on Lukic

Lukic has been with Torino since 2016 and has been a key player for them in the heart of midfield.

He started out with Partizan in his native country before he was signed by his current club six years ago.

The 26-year-old has since played 146 games in all competitions and has chipped in with 12 goals.

He also had a loan spell away at Levante in Spain during the 2017/18 season and played 16 times in La Liga.

Crystal Palace are being linked with him now as they hunt for more additions in this transfer window.

They have already brought in Cheick Doucoure from RC Lens in his position but may still want to add further bodies into their midfield department to ensure they are ready for all their upcoming games.

Viera’s men are back in action tonight away at Liverpool after losing their opening match at home to Arsenal.
