Crystal Palace to make John Ruddy bid?

Crystal Palace are reportedly lining up a bid for Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy.

Eagles boss Tony Pulis sees the 27-year-old as a potential replacement for Julian Speroni, who is out of contract at Selhurst Park this summer.

Speroni is understood to have received offers from Leicester City and Hull City.

Palace are expected to make a £5m offer to Norwich for Ruddy's services before the start of the new season, according to The Telegraph.

Ruddy was recently named as one of seven players on the stand-by list for the England World Cup squad.
