Talks between Marseille and Crystal Palace over Quinten Timber resumed on deadline day, with the midfielder edging towards Selhurst Park, according to RMC Sport.

Discussions over a fee of more than €18m have been taking place, alongside Palace and Sunderland attempts to finalise a deal for 21-year-old Malick Fofana. The Belgian could now be heading to the Black Cats.

Timber joined Marseille from Feyenoord for €4.5m last winter.

He has made 17 appearances for the club.
