Samir Nasri to join Crystal Palace if West Ham move collapses, say bookies
Frenchman is still to prove his fitness as contract negotiations may also be a stumbling block
CRYSTAL PALACE could hijack West Ham's move for Samir Nasri, according to the bookies.
There is still a lot of work to be done on the Frenchman's move to the London Stadium as question marks over his fitness and contract have emerged.
It's reported the move could collapse as there is concerns over over his fitness, while he is also demanding £80,000-a-week.
The Irons are huge 2/5 odds-on favourites to land the midfielder, while the Eagles are second in line at 11/2.
As the bookies heavily link Nasri with a return to the Premier League, a return to Arsenal at 50/1 doesn't look likely.
The former Man City star would available to play in January, as he currently serves a doping ban.
