Crystal Palace 'make Gregor Balazic enquiry'

Crystal Palace have reportedly opened up talks to sign Slovenia international defender Gregor Balazic.

The 26-year-old, who is expected to feature against England at Wembley for his national side next week, is contracted to Ukrainian club FC Karpaty Lviv until the end of this calendar year.

Sky Sports News claims that Palace have made enquiries over the centre-half, who has also attracted the interest of fellow Premier League club Queens Park Rangers.

It is also reported that the Eagles are looking to add another central midfielder and striker to their squad when the transfer window reopens in January, with Benfica youth product Balazic likely to be the first to join.
