Crystal Palace are ready to bid for Lille defender Ibrahim Amadou.

The Sun says Palace are making a £13 million bid for Amadou to solve their injury crisis.

Palace have contacted the French club about the Cameroon-born star who could fill the boots of Scott Dann after his knee problem cast a doubt about him playing again this season.

Amadou was a Palace target in the summer window but the clubs could not agree over a fee and the Eagles eventually paid a bigger fee for Mamadou Sakho from Liverpool.

But now there has been a fresh move for Amadou who would jump at the Premier League switch and could be in Roy Hodgson's squad immediately.
