Crystal Palace are reportedly keen on Tottenham left back Ben Davies.
According to The Guardian, Crystal Palace are keen on January deal for Tottenham left back Ben Davies – but a deal could depend on Spurs’ pursuit of Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon.
The Eagles have endured a topsy-turvy season under Alan Pardew, as they’ve lost eight of 15 games in the Premier League, and have been one of the division’s most entertaining teams as they’ve scored 27 and conceded 29 goals.

With the January transfer window fast approaching, Palace will be looking for reinforcements in a bid to make sure that they don’t get dragged into a relegation battle.
Now, The Guardian report that Palace have set their sights on Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies, with a loan deal being targeted for next month.
Tottenham’s Ben Davies in action
Palace have seen first-choice left back Pape Souare ruled out through injury after being in a car crash earlier this season, and manager Pardew is believed to be keen on signing Davies as a replacement in January.
The Welsh international, 23, has largely served as Tottenham’s second-choice left back since signing from Swansea City in 2014, and having been stuck behind Danny Rose, he could leave to join Palace on loan.
However, it’s stated that Tottenham may only let Davies leave if they can snap up Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon in January, adding some backup to England international Rose.
Sessegnon, 16, is one of England’s hottest prospects having played for the Under-16’s and Under-17’s, and it’s suggested that Spurs are hoping to land him in January to develop him behind Rose, allowing Davies to join Palace on loan in the process.
