Crystal Palace will fight Burnley for the £6 million signature of Brighton play-maker Dale Stephens in the New Year transfer market.
Eagles supremo Steve Parrish is ready to finance a move for Stephens who is looking to move to the Premier League as soon as possible.
Burnley are already trying to buy Stephens after missing out on him at the start of the season, but now Palace have been alerted to that move and are in strongly.
Stephens has just signed up with a new agent who has big Palace links and a move to Selhurst Park is on in January.
The midfielder will have a major say in where he goes and is looking for a pay day. Burnley may find that Palace’s superior financial muscle will be too great for them.
