Report: Crystal Palace set to move for Newcastle defender Ciaran Clark

According to The Sun, Crystal Palace are interested in brining Newcastle United centre-back Ciaran Clark to Selhurst Park this summer after manager Roy Hodgson looks to beef up his backline. The 29-year-old has been a key player for the Magpies since arriving from Aston Villa in the summer of 2016, helping them to top-flight promotion back in 2017 after making 34 Championship appearances. The Eagles are open to a loan move, and could also be willing to snap up the £5 million-rated Newcastle star on a permanent basis. The Sun claims it will now be down to Magpies’ boss Steve Bruce to decide if he can afford to let Clark go, and it will be interesting to see what his decision is.
