Tottenham midfielder Ryan Mason has emerged as a transfer target for Crystal Palace.

The 24-year-old has struggled for playing time at White Hart Lane this season and Mauricio Pochettino could allow him to leave this summer.

Palace manager Alan Pardew wants his side to keep the ball better next season and is considering a move for Mason, who is also wanted by Bournemouth.

Mason signed a five-and-a-half-year deal at Spurs less than 18 months ago but he has been on the fringes of the team this season. Injuries, the emergence of Dele Alli and the form of Mousa Dembele have limited him to just six Premier League starts this season and 12 in all competitions.

Tottenham 2015/16 season Player Ratings 23 show all Tottenham 2015/16 season Player Ratings 1/23 Tottenham season ratings Who has had a season to remember for Spurs? And who has come up short? 2/23 Hugo Lloris: 8 The Frenchman was part of the division's best defence until the final day and was helpless to prevent a route at Newcastle but cannot hide from the fact he has made a couple of costly individual errors too. 3/23 Kyle Walker: 7 The Englishman has made a significant improvement but continues to be let down by rash decision making and lapses in concentration. 4/23 Toby Alderweireld: 8 The best defender in the Premier League this season. Few forwards have got the better of the Belgian and his passing repertoire is better than plenty of midfielders. 5/23 Jan Vertonghen: 7 Would have secured a higher mark if he had not suffered a knee injury against Crystal Palace in February, which disrupted the second half of his season. Not yet back to his best, but still an imperious presence. 2015 Getty Images 6/23 Danny Rose: 8 The full-back was not assured of his place in the first half of the season but is now considered first-choice ahead of Ben Davies and is likely to have done enough to secure a similar role in France this summer. 7/23 Eric Dier: 8 The 22-year-old started the season as Tottenham's third-choice central defender but finishes it as one of the best holding midfielders in the division. Still has much to learn, and commits too many fouls, but looks set to be a key member of the side for years to come. 8/23 Mousa Dembele: 7 The Belgian has excelled alongside Dier in central midfield, delivering doses of power to help drive Spurs forward. His influence is crucial but the incident at Stamford Bridge has knocked him down a peg and means his campaign ends on a sour note. Should have been leading by example when the pressure was on. 9/23 Erik Lamela: 7 The Argentinian appears to have finally silenced the majority of his doubters. He is still not the finished article but few can argue with his effort levels, which embody Mauricio Pochettino's brand of pressing football. His eye for a goal has also improved. 10/23 Dele Alli: 9 Alli has surpassed everything which was expected of him in a superb debut season at the highest level. His temper has threatened to boil over on a number of occasions but he has firmly established himself as one of the most promising youngsters in world football. He's got it all. 11/23 Christian Eriksen: 8 The Danish midfielder's positional tweak has slipped under the radar somewhat. Being shunted out to the left to accommodate Dele Alli took its toll on Eriksen's influence but he has been the side's chief creator with a total of 13 assists. 12/23 Harry Kane: 9 One season wonder? Not a chance. Kane has continued to improve this season and finishes only his second top-flight campaign with the Golden Boot. Can do no wrong at White Hart Lane as it stands. 13/23 Heung-Min Son: 6 The South Korean is yet to justify his huge price tag, but primarily due to the stop-start season he has enjoyed. Yet to nail down one position but has shown plenty of glimpses to suggest he will be a real asset once he has adjusted to English football fully. 14/23 Kieran Trippier: 6 Trippier's arrival from newly-relegated Burnley last summer raised eyebrows, but he has proven to be a reliable squad member and back-up when called upon. However, filling in on European nights in the Champions League is entirely different to what has been asked of him this season. 15/23 Ryan Mason: 4 A disappointing season. Mason was still assured of a place in the side prior to his injury against Sunderland but has been unable to reclaim it after returning to full fitness. The exploits of other midfielders at the club this season have exposed the Englishman's shortcomings. 16/23 Kevin Wimmer: 6 Thrown in at the deep end when Jan Vertonghen was ruled out for a considerable chunk of the campaign and coped well in his 10 appearances, helping to secure four clean sheets. Encouraging signs for the future. 17/23 Nacer Chadli: 6 The majority of the Belgian's appearances have come from the bench and he still does not offer enough to make a serious case for a starting spot. Made meaningful contributions on a couple of occasions but too often he does too little to change the course of a game. 18/23 Ben Davies: 6 The Welshman will be disappointed not to have been given more game time during the second half of the season but Danny Rose slowly eased ahead of him in the pecking order. Solid rather than spectacular but a reliable option nonetheless. 19/23 Nabil Bentaleb: 4 The midfielder has gone backwards during an injury-hit season in which he made just five appearances. Given that Bentaleb is 21 his potential remains vast but he will have to convince many of his talent all over again after so long on the sidelines. 20/23 Tom Carroll: 5 The 23-year-old has not done too much wrong this season but has done little of note either. His frequent, but brief, substitute appearances are often uneventful and he has rarely threatened to be anything other than squad fodder. 21/23 Clinton N'Jie: 5 Knee surgery has disrupted the Cameroon international's progress. He is difficult to judge given that he has featured so sporadically but certainly does not look like the out-and-out striker needed to offer an alternative to Harry Kane. 22/23 Joshua Onomah: 6 Seven substitute appearances represent significant progress for the 19-year-old. Onomah was rewarded with a new contract in February, which suggests he is part of Pochettino's plans. 23/23 Michel Vorm: 5 The Dutchman's sole appearance arrived on the opening day defeat to Manchester United. If Hugo Lloris is fit, the the best Vorm can hope for a place on the substitutes' bench, but there is plenty be said for a settle second choice who will not throw his toys out of the pram. 1/23 Tottenham season ratings Who has had a season to remember for Spurs?

Pardew is targeting a busy summer in the transfer market as he looks to strengthen for next season. The Palace boss is also looking for a top striker to add to the squad that reached the FA Cup Final.

Mason was a regular for Spurs in the 2014-15 season and made his England debut last March in a friendly against Italy, but he now could decide it is time to move on.
