Elliot Grandin is close to rejoining manager Ian Holloway at Crystal Palace but a deal is not finished yet.
The French winger played under Holloway at Blackpool but is out of contract this summer and has been on trial at Palace.
Although French newspaper L'Equipe reported the 25-year-old had signed a one-year deal with the Eagles, it is understood talks are still ongoing between the parties but a deal is possible.
Grandin joined Blackpool in 2010, making 24 appearances in the Premier League and scoring once as the Seasiders were relegated.
He was loaned to Nice for the second half of the 2011-12 season before returning to Blackpool and making 13 appearances last season, scoring three goals.
