Crystal Palace enquire about Tottenham's Ben Davies - sources

Crystal Palace have made enquiries for Tottenham defender Ben Davies as Sam Allardyce looks to bring in a new left-back, sources close to the Eagles have told ESPN FC.

Allardyce has made Davies his top target to fill the left-back role at Selhurst Park, but faces a major battle to persuade Tottenham to let the defender to leave.

Palace have already signed Leicester's Jeffrey Schlupp this month, but he has earmarked Schlupp to play on the left-wing and he wants Davies to solve the problematic left-back role.

Davies has found himself behind Danny Rose in the pecking order at Tottenham and has only started three Premier League games so far this season.
