Crystal Palace launch £7m bid for Norwich left back Robbie Brady

Crystal Palace have made a bid of £7million for Robbie Brady as Sam Allardyce attempts to solve a problem at left back.

Allardyce said after the defeat at Arsenal that he wanted 'two or three' new signings in January.

The Eagles boss wants to add a new left back to his ranks as Pape Souare is expected to be out for the season after a serious car accident on the M4 in September.

Right-back Joel Ward has had to deputise on the other flank but Allardyce wants a left-footed defender to fill Souare's void.  

Norwich want £12m for Brady, the Republic of Ireland international signed from Hull, but Alex Neil wants money to go a raid for goals.

Under-fire Neil may use the money the club receive for Brady to sign Nakhi Wells from Huddersfield. 

Wells has scored six goals in 23 games for the Terriers this season.

First-choice left-back Pape Souare is expected to miss the rest of the season after a car crash
