Burnley boss Sean Dyche is keen to take over at Crystal Palace.
Dyche led the Clarets to Premier League safety last season, and has been touted as a future England manager.
The Eagles are looking for Sam Allardyce’s successor after his sudden resignation last month.
The Independent reports that while Dyche is not Palace’s first-choice target, the former Watford manager wants to move back to London.

Dyche managed the Hornets for just one season, before being sacked in 2012. He was appointed Burnley boss later that year.
The 45-year-old coach has guided the Lancashire outfit to two Premier League promotions on a shoe-string budget.
And now, he is one of many candidates in the frame to replace Allardyce at Selhurst Park.
Dyche is currently on holiday and is understood to have a £1m release clause in his Burnley contract.
