If Fulham are to lose Andreas Pereira either this month or in the summer transfer window amid links with Marseille, the Cottagers could take a quick look across the English capital for a natural replacement for the Brazilian.
Indeed, Football Insider reports that Marco Silva's side are one of three teams interested in signing Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes, who has shone in Oliver Glasner's system this season.
After only making sporadic starts in the first half of the campaign, Hughes has cemented his spot in the Eagles' first XI and has set up three goals in 17 Premier League games this season.
All of Fulham, West Ham United and Brentford reportedly want to prise the Englishman away from Selhurst Park, where his contract expires at the end of the current campaign.
However, Crystal Palace are said to hold the option of a 12-month extension in order to avoid losing Hughes on a free, although that could just precede a cut-price sale in the summer.
The 29-year-old joined the Eagles from Watford in a £5.8m deal in 2021 and has amassed a total of two goals and six assists in 104 appearances for the London outfit in all tournaments.
Paris Saint-Germain defender offered Turkish escape route?

Across the channel, Paris Saint-Germain outcast Milan Skriniar could supposedly be offered an escape route from the Parc des Princes by Turkish giants Galatasaray.
The former Inter Milan centre-back has quickly fallen down the pecking order in Paris under Luis Enrique and has only played five times in the 2024-25 Ligue 1 campaign.
Skriniar's deal runs for another three-and-a-half seasons, but the French champions are expected to entertain appropriate offers for the Slovakia international over the next few weeks.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Galatasaray are in talks to bring Skriniar to the Turkish Super Lig on an initial loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Plettenberg reports that neither Skriniar nor PSG have agreed terms with Galatasaray just yet, and the transfer will be difficult for the Turkish side to pull off, but they remain hopeful of getting the move over the line.
Skriniar has scored one goal in 37 matches for PSG since leaving Inter in the summer of 2023, prior to which he won one Serie A crown with the Nerazzurri in the 2020-21 season.
Bryan Zaragoza primed for Bayern Munich return?

From France to Spain and Spain to Germany, Osasuna will reportedly find it 'impossible' to sign on-loan Bayern Munich winger Bryan Zaragoza permanently during the summer window.
The 23-year-old moved back to his homeland on a temporary basis after a difficult start to life at Bayern, where he failed to score or assist in any of his first seven appearances.
Zaragoza has found safe haven in Spain, registering one goal and five assists in 15 La Liga matches before sustaining a foot fracture, which is currently keeping him sidelined.
According to Spanish outlet AS, Osasuna would be keen to keep the winger on the books beyond the end of his loan deal, but he will be heading back to Bayern when the season is done.
The German giants will then make a final call on his future over the summer, but the report adds that a permanent sale is likely, even though his contract runs until the summer of 2029.
Bayern forked out a total package of €17m (£14.1m) for Zaragoza's services, an initial loan fee of €4m (£3.3m) followed by a €13m (£10.8m) outlay to sign him permanently.
