Leeds had agreed a deal with The Eagles for the 30-year-old striker but Palace pulled out because they were concerned about the fitness of forward Sandor Torghelle, who picked up an ankle injury on international duty for Hungary.
However he played the full 90 minutes of Palace's Premiership defeat at Portsmouth and Freedman did not even feature on the subs bench, so they might now be willing to let him move for an initial three month period.
