Ghana international Jeffrey Schlupp could have French legend Frank de Boer as new manager at Crystal Palace.
The former Netherlands international has been offered the job and negotiations are at an advanced stage.
It is understood he was the first choice of Palace chairman Steve Parish and informed the south London side they were his preferred option.
De Boer is set to succeed Sam Allardyce, who left after helping Palace avoid relegation from the Premier League last season.
De Boer, who won 112 caps for the Netherlands, has been out of work since he was sacked by Inter Milan in November 2016 after only 85 days in charge.
De Boer is thought to have impressed the Palace hierarchy with his knowledge of the club and his footballing vision.
