Palace make £8m approach for McCarthy

The 28-year-old has battled a succession of injuries over the past few years but regained full fitness a few months ago after overcoming a double leg break.

He had dropped down the pecking order at Goodison Park in the interim and made just one Premier League appearance last season so it would appear that his best chance of playing regular first-team football and reviving his international career would be elsewhere.

Palace had been linked with a move for McCarthy on and off this summer but if this claim from Sky's Michael Bridge holds any water, it looks as though they are ready to try and strike a deal.
