Crystal Palace and Fenerbahce tracking ex-Fulham star Kasami

Former Fulham and Olympiacos midfielder Pajtim Kasami is the subject of transfer interest from Crystal Palace and Turkish giants Fenerbahce, Goal understands.

The Switzerland international is expected to leave FC Sion this month and has been identified as a player who could fit into Roy Hodgson’s system with a fee of £3-4 million being demanded for his services by the Swiss Super League side.

Kasami, 26, has scored eight goals and made three assists in 20 appearances for Sion this season and fellow Swiss team Basel are also seriously interested in the versatile midfielder.
