LEAGUE Two outfit Southend United are believed to be frontrunners to sign Crystal Palace forward Kwesi Appiah.
According to reports in Essex, Appiah is a main target of United boss Phil Brown.
The former Margate man impressed on loan at Cambridge United last season in the Conference Premier, and the U's are also interested in a return for Appiah too.
First team chances are set to be limited with the Eagles, so a loan or permanent move is the most likely option this summer.
