English side Crystal Place have entered the race to sign striker Michy Batshuayi, according to SkySports.
The reports revealed earlier today that Crystal Place have made a £31.5million offer for the Ligue 1 star striker.
Marseille are receiving big offers, double the amount that they paid for Yohan Cabaye a year ago, which was club-record fee.
Batshuayi has been eyed by several sides including Palace and West Ham United.
West Ham reportedly made an undisclosed offer last week but failed to conclude the deal, however the Palace are confident that the fee would be enough to change the minds.
Batshuayi netted 23 goals in all campaigns for Marseille last season.
The Belgian who is currently at the Euro Championship has helped his country to reach the quarter finals. He scored a goal in his debut Euro game against Hungary in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be keeping tabs on the 22-year-old highly rated player. However, both the sides are yet to decide whether to make a bid or not.
Marseille signed Batshuayi from Standard Liege for £4.5million, and now are likely to receive seven times the money they invested on him
