Crystal Palace have made a bid of £7million for Robbie Brady as Sam Allardyce attempts to solve a problem at left back.

Allardyce said after the defeat at Arsenal that he wanted 'two or three' new signings in January.

The Eagles boss wants to add a new left back to his ranks as Pape Souare is expected to be out for the season after a serious car accident on the M4 in September.

Right-back Joel Ward has had to deputise on the other flank but Allardyce wants a left-footed defender to fill Souare's void.

Norwich want £12m for Brady, the Republic of Ireland international signed from Hull, but Alex Neil wants money to go a raid for goals.

Under-fire Neil may use the money the club receive for Brady to sign Nakhi Wells from Huddersfield.

Wells has scored six goals in 23 games for the Terriers this season.
