Crystal Palace club captain Paddy McCarthy is understood to be on the radar of League One side Sheffield United for a loan move.
The centre-back is looking for game-time away from Selhurst Park and has been the subject of enquiries from Championship clubs too.
Boss Neil Warnock - a former Blade - could be key in a deal happening for the 31-year-old, which will see him go out and play up to six games.
McCarthy recently signed a new contract at Palace, and he could be the second defender to leave on loan, following Peter Ramage, who looks set to move to Barnsley until January.
