# Palace line up move for Butland

Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland is a target for Crystal Palace this summer as Roy Hodgson looks to strengthen his options in goal.

[According to South London News](https://www.londonnewsonline.co.uk/stoke-city-keeper-on-crystal-palaces-transfer-radar-with-doubts-over-vicente-guaitas-future/), the Eagles are looking to Butland amidst reports linking Vicente Guaita with a move back to La Liga.

The former Getafe shot-stopper moved to Palace on a free transfer after his contract expired with the Spanish side last summer, initially signing a three year deal at Selhurst Park.

Guaita could be set for a return to Spain at the end of this season, however, and Palace are said to be lining the England international up as their replacement.

The 25-year-old currently plays in the Championship for the Potters following their relegation from the Premier League, and could be tempted to force a move through with Stoke currently out of contention for a return to the top flight this season.

Butland joined the Potters from Birmingham in a deal worth over £3million in 2013 and is said to currently be valued at £15million.
