Crystal Palace are challenging Tottenham for FC Koln defender Kevin Wimmer.

The People says the Eagles are in the market for a centre-half amid rumours that Alan Pardew is planning an overhaul of his rearguard this summer.

Tottenham have a confirmed interest in the FC Koln stopper - with a fee of £4.3m having been discussed.

But the Eagles have registered their own intention - and nothing will happen until the summer when the next transfer window opens.
