Crystal Palace want Ben Davies on loan
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew is keen to cement the Londoners are a premier League side and is bust in the transfer market trying to tie up deals to improve the quality within his squad.
The Daily Mail report that he has his eyes on Spurs out of favour 22-year-old (23 in April) left-back Ben Davies. The trouble is Tottenham need two players for every position, three for some and since his move from Swansea last summer Davies has had to be content mainly with a role in the UEFA Europa League.
The recent shot time statistics I produced show the problem he has. A lack of pace means he has to be intelligent with his overlapping as he doesn't have the speed of Danny Rose to get back. Davies therefore only had 1 shot in 898 minutes of Premier League football, where Danny Rose was taking a shot every 98.75 minutes. That is a huge difference in attacking threat. A full-back in the modern game can't just be a defender and especially not in out inverted winger system.
Despite this it is highly unlikely Tottenham would let him leave this summer.
