Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Kevin Trapp wanted by Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace

CRYSTAL PALACE are making a daring bid to snatch Germany keeper Kevin Trapp from French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

Eagles boss Roy Hodgson wants a new No 1 and an approach has been made for Trapp, 27, who is not starting and could be keen on a Prem switch.

PSG need Trapp on the bench for their domestic title tilt and bid for a first Champions League win but they will give the move some thought.

Trapp has suddenly fallen out of favour after helping Germany win the Confederations Cup in the summer and also playing his part in PSG claiming the major honours in France.

Now French stopper Alphonse Areola, 24, has pushed him out of the all-star side and opened the door for Palace to make their move.

Hodgson has been chopping and changing his keeper spot between Wayne Hennessey and Julian Speroni, so a loan move may suit as the Eagles bid to avoid relegation.

PSG may do the deal if there is a guaranteed buy in the summer should the Eagles beat the drop, and that option could be arranged.

The French league leaders suffered their first defeat in Ligue 1 today.
