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.
