Crystal Palace Target Loan Deal for Chelsea's Gary Cahill as Fulham Plot Scott Dann Swoop

Crystal Palace are targeting a move for Chelsea's Gary Cahill after rivals Fulham registered their interest in defender Scott Dann.

Cahill, who has also been linked with Arsenal this month, has been out-of-favour under new Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri this season, and has struggled to earn first-team action at Stamford Bridge.

The Sun report that Eagles boss Roy Hodgson is keen on enticing the former England international to join him at Selhurst Park, and overlook a move to Premier League rivals Fulham.

The report adds that their interest in Cahill stems from the Cottagers' interest in Palace defender Scott Dann, who has struggled to dislodge James Tomkins and Mamadou Sakho as Hodgson's first choice central defenders.
