Crystal Palace boss Hodgson targeting PSG goalkeeper Trapp

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is targeting PSG goalkeeper Kevin Trapp.

The Sun says Palace are making a daring bid to snatch Germany keeper Trapp from French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

Eagles boss Roy Hodgson wants a new No 1 and an approach has been made for Trapp, 27, who is not starting and could be keen on a Prem switch.

PSG need Trapp on the bench for their domestic title tilt and bid for a first Champions League win but they will give the move some thought.

Trapp has suddenly fallen out of favour after helping Germany win the Confederations Cup in the summer and also playing his part in PSG claiming the major honours in France.

Now French stopper Alphonse Areola, 24, has pushed him out of the all-star side and opened the door for Palace to make their move.
