Crystal Palace are eyeing Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa.

The Mirror says Scott Dann has spurned interest from Everton to commit his long-term future to the Eagles, hot on the heels of James McArthur's new deal, and Palace are building a team that intends to challenge for the European places.

But the Eagles are well aware that they must add a goalscorer to the squad in order to compete and Leicester forward Leonardo Ulloa is a contingency plan being considered.

Alan Pardew would also like defensive reinforcements, and coach Ben Garner left the club this week as Pardew continues to re-mould the backroom staff.
