Crystal Palace boss George Burley is reported to have made an increased offer for Town midfielder Owen Garvan. The former Blues manager recently had a £100,000 offer turned down by his old club.

Previously, Town were reported to have put a £400,000 on the Irish U21 international’s head, but it is likely that the clubs could come to a compromise, although whether Garvan would favour a move to the south London club remains to be seen.

The Dubliner, who is contracted to the Blues until 2011, is understood to be amongst the eight players manager Roy Keane has made available for transfer.

Burley recently said he felt Garvan would suit his Eagles team: “Owen hasn’t been getting a game and I would like to take him. He’s a good passer of a ball and someone who I feel who can do well for me. He’s my type of player.”
