Crystal Palace are leading the race for the signature of Schalke 04 midfielder Nabil Bentaleb, according to a report from Fussballtransfers.

The report claims that negotiations between the parties are set to go into the final stretch, and that a deal could be concluded before the end of this week.

Bentaleb is looking to leave Schalke 04 after falling out of favor at Veltins-Arena and is said to prefer a move to England or France.

Everton and Olympique Lyon are also said to be interested in the 25-year-old.
