Everton are desperate to sign Crystal Palace player of the year Scott Dann.

Personal issues have £15m-rated Dann close to a move to Goodison Park, but the Eagles - after their 10th placed finish - are keen to hold onto one of the best central defenders in England.

Dann has been tipped for international recognition after 18 months of impressing at Selhurst Park.

Palace are keen to make a splash this summer and are planning a raft of ambitious moves despite the breakdown in talks with American investors.

While the planned overhaul of the coaching staff is unlikely to go ahead, chairman Steve Parish is keen to accelerate the club's development and is eyeing ambitious moves for Loic Remy and Yohan Cabaye.

The Eagles are prepared to do their business late in the window if necessary and are planning for life in the top half of the Premier League.

Dann is happy to stay in south London if necessary but has received encouragement from intermediaries as Roberto Martinez looks for replacements for Sylvain Distin and Antolin Alcaraz - both released this summer.
