Crystal Palace have been told they will have to pay a combined £16million for Swansea pair Bafetimbi Gomis and Jonjo Shelvey.

Palace’s incoming boss Alan Pardew wants the duo to strengthen his fight for survival - but their price may scare off the Premier League strugglers.

Gomis, 29, has failed to nail down a starting place at Swansea after joining on a Bosman-style free transfer from Lyon last summer and now is valued around £8m.

The Swans’ willingness to cash in and do business this month suggests they will be reluctant to do business on hot-property fellow frontman Wilfried Bony.

Manchester City and Tottenham are both looking at Bony, who signed a new contract earlier in the season which removed a buy-out clause.

Swansea are adamant they do not want to sell the 26-year-old, who has also been called up to the Ivory Coast’s Africa Cup of Nations squad.

Pardew also wants Swansea’s former Liverpool midfielder Shelvey and may persuade the Welsh club to sell for around £8m.

It comes just after Shelvey accepted an FA charge for an elbow at Liverpool and faces a three game ban while Swans boss Garry Monk also labelled his own player “lazy.”

The Swansea pair are top of Pardew’s hit-list, while Palace have also been in for Arsenal’s France Under-21 striker Yaya Sanogo, who is available on loan.
