Crystal Palace are being linked with a move for Queens Park Rangers defender Steven Caulker, who is currently on loan at Premier League rivals Southampton.
Caulker, who was capped once by England in 2012 – a game in which he scored, has not been featuring regularly for Ronald Koeman’s side, with Jose Fonte and Virgil Van Dijk being the Dutchman’s preferred central defensive duo.
According to Alex White of the Croydon Advertiser, Caulker could end his temporary deal at the South Coast early and look to pursue a permanent move to the Premier League.
The report by White says that Norwich and Sunderland are also potential destinations for the 24-year-old, but Palace may be the favourites to acquire him as part of a player-plus-cash deal.
QPR are apparently interested in Palace forward Dwight Gayle and are hopeful that they can do a deal that will be mutually beneficial to both clubs.
