Crystal Palace are keeping tabs on Brighton star Lewis Dunk ahead of a potential summer move, according to reports.

The 24-year-old defender has attracted the attention of a host of Premier League clubs after a consistent run under Chris Hughton.

Dunk has made 22 appearances for the Seagulls this term and has established himself as one of the most dependable defenders in the Championship.

While a move this January is not expected, Palace are monitoring the centre back ahead of the summer transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.

Eagles’ scouts have reportedly watched Dunk in action and been impressed by his performances for Brighton, who have surrendered their position at the top of the division but remain in a play-off spot.
