Crystal Palace are moving for Tottenham fullback Ben Davies.

The Sun says Palace chief Sam Allardyce turned to Davies after failing to talk old club Sunderland into selling first choice Patrick van Aanholt.

Palace are trying to get Davies out of Spurs but face a mighty battle as he is needed for the title push and the Europa League campaign.

Spurs supremo Daniel Levy will be hard to deal with, but Palace are desperate to sort out their problem position as they drop into trouble.
