Cheikhou Kouyate set for Crystal Palace exit as club closes in on Cheick Doucoure transfer

Cheikhou Kouyate looks set to leave Crystal Palace this summer after making no further progress over a new contract.

The Eagles have been in talks with the Senagalese midfielder, whose current deal expires on Thursday, although reports suggest he will walk away from the club as a free agent after failing to agree on a new contract.

Palace agreed to one-year contract extensions for James McArthur, Nathaniel Clyne, James Tomkins and Jordan Ayew this month after their deals were also expiring, though Kouyate has reportedly been holding out for a two-year deal amid transfer interest in him from abroad.
