Crystal Palace in pursuit of Swansea pair Taylor, Shelvey

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is believed to be interested in an ambitious move for a duo of Swansea City players.

The Daily Mail is reporting that the new Eagles manager has enquired about Swans pair Neil Taylor and Jonjo Shelvey as he looks to push the south London club further away from the relegation zone.

News that Swansea are looking at a number of full-backs, including Norwich City's Martin Olsson and Tottenham's Kyle Naughton, has made 25-year old Taylor a possible option for Pardew.

It has also been suggested that he could go after former Liverpool midfielder Shelvey although the 22-year old would command a transfer fee of around £9million.
