Crystal Palace will take ex-Newcastle striker Best in order to land Blackburn's Dann

Crystal Palace are so eager to sign Scott Dann that they have told Blackburn Rovers that they will also sign out-of-favour striker Leon Best.

The Mirror suggests that Palace boss Tony Pulis is determined to land defender Dann for £3million but so far Rovers have turned down his advances.

However, the Eagles manager is prepared to add Best to the deal after learning that he has fallen out with manager Gary Bowyer having also recently slammed fans on social media.

Best joined Blackburn from Newcastle United for £3million in the summer of 2012 but has scored just two goals since arriving in Lancashire.
