Kagisho Dikgacoi

Crystal Palace are hoping to re-sign Fulham midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi on a permanent deal.

Dikgacoi sparkled while on loan from Craven Cottage last season and Palace's assistant boss Lennie Lawrence wants to get the 26-year-old back.

"KG at Fulham is one we are looking to get back here," said Lawrence. "We are keen and will look to do something when the teams come back in July.

"Things are complicated slightly by the fact that Fulham are now in the Europa League which may mean they want to keep hold of him."

Palace are reportedly tracking Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes. The 21-year-old scored 16 goals in 38 games for the League One outfit last season.

Out-of-contract Dundee winger Craig Forsyth is another player on Palace manager Dougie Freedman's list with a £100,000 compensation fee already agreed according to reports.

Lawrence added: "We are looking to improve all over the pitch We want to improve the level of players we have next year.

"The budget is and will remain competitive. There is money available but we have to be responsible and we don't want to just throw it away. We will always do what's best for the club."
