FORMER Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov is being linked with a surprise move to Crystal Palace.
The 33-year-old ex-Spurs and Fulham man is currently plying his trade with Monaco but, according to the Daily Mail, is keen on a move back to England.
Berbatov is reputed to be on £4 million a year in the principality and would be giving up Champions League football, though the lure of more regular game-time could tempt the languid Bulgarian back to London.
Palace boss Alan Pardew is reportedly keen to beef up his strikeforce - strongly linked with Blackburn's Rudy Gestede, among others - despite the fact his new team have netted 12 goals in his four games in charge so far.
