Palace aim to beat Fulham for Villa striker Bent

Crystal Palace are moving for Aston Villa striker Darren Bent.

The Mirror says Eagles boss Ian ­Holloway hopes to hijack Fulham's bid to land out-of-favour Bent from Aston Villa as he looks to recruit a ­proven Premier League goalscorer ahead of ­Palace's return to the ­top flight.

The Londoners have agreed ­personal terms with Bent, 29, and are now hoping that Villa will lower their £6million asking price so that a deal can be done.
