Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Yohan Cabaye has opened the door for a summer move to Crystal Palace by insisting he would relish the chance to play under Alan Pardew again.
The Frenchman enjoyed a productive spell at Newcastle under Pardew before moving back to his homeland to join PSG in January 2014.
However, the 29-year-old has increasingly found himself surplus to requirement in the French capital under boss Laurent Blanc.
Cabaye made only 13 starts last season in Ligue 1 and has started just 22 league games since his transfer from Newcastle.
He admits that the lure of first-team football, as well as working under Pardew once again, makes a move to London a distinct possibility.
Cabaye, who is on international duty with France and played in the 4-3 defeat to Belgium last weekend, said: “It went very well with him (last time).
“If I have to make that decision, it will be a pleasure to see my old coach. I enjoy it with him and he does a great job.”
Cabaye admits he does not have any desire to remain in Paris playing a bit-part role next season and is willing to listen to offers this summer.
“I am in a situation today where I am not getting the game time that I was hoping for. The important thing is that I will think carefully and make the best decision. We will see how it evolves in the coming weeks,” he added.
Crystal Palace are 6.50 to be relegated from the Premier League next season.
