Crystal Palace, West Ham United in battle to sign Bradley Dack?

Blackburn Rovers midfielder Bradley Dack is reportedly at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war between Premier League rivals Crystal Palace and West Ham United.

The 24-year-old has maintained his impressive form from last season in Rovers' first campaign back in the Championship by netting nine goals in 17 appearances.

Dack, who has previously been touted as a potential target for Tottenham Hotspur, is now expected to spark a bidding war when top-flight clubs strengthen their squads next month.

According to The Sun, Palace and West Ham are both seeking another playmaker and are preparing to test Blackburn's resolve with bids in the region of £20m.

Gillingham academy product Dack notched 19 goals for Rovers in their successful promotion campaign from League One last term.
