Steven Caulker interesting Crystal Palace

Queens Park Rangers centre-back Steven Caulker has emerged as a top transfer target for Crystal Palace ahead of the summer transfer window.

Eagles boss Alan Pardew is expected to bolster the backline following his side's impressive showing in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup final earlier this month.

According to The Guardian, Caulker could have another season in the top flight with the Eagles eager to bring in a suitable partner for Scott Dann at centre-back.

It is added that the R's are open to offloading the England international, provided any club matches their £6.5m asking price over the summer.

Caulker recently returned to Loftus Road following a short-term loan with Liverpool.
