Crystal Palace close in on James Tomkins deal?

West Ham United defender James Tomkins has reportedly emerged as a top transfer target for Crystal Palace.

Tomkins has spent his entire career with the Hammers but if reports are to be believed, he could be about to make the move across London to link up with Alan Pardew's side.

According to Goal.com, Palace are prepared to spend £10m on the 27-year-old as they continue to reshape their squad ahead of the new season.

Palace have already signed goalkeeper Steve Mandanda and winger Andros Townsend, while Christian Benteke is said to be a potential addition in attack.
