da realsbet: Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce is planning to bid £11m to sign Rubin Kazan midfielder Yann M’Vila, according to The Telegraph.
da prosport bet: What’s the word?
Allardyce has been focusing on strengthening his side since the transfer window opened in January.
The Eagles need reinforcements as they attempt to steer themselves away from the relegation zone.
The latest player being linked to Selhurst Park is M’Vila, who played under Allardyce during a loan spell at Sunderland last season.
The midfielder hoped to sign permanently for the Black Cats in the summer, but a deal never materialised and M’Vila penned a new three-and-a-half year deal with Kazan.
The Telegraph claims that an £11m buyout clause was included in the contract, and Allardyce is hoping to convince the Palace hierarchy to front up the cash.

Is M’Vila a good option?
Allardyce is well aware of the midfielder’s qualities having worked with him at the Stadium of Light last season.
The 26-year-old’s performances played a big role in keeping Sunderland in the Premier League, and Palace are in need of a similar helping hand given that they are in the bottom three, two points from safety.
The France international would provide a much-needed physical presence in the middle of the park, with tackling being a big part of his game.
In addition to his strength, M’Vila can orchestrate plays from deep in midfield.
