Crystal Palace boss Peter Taylor has revealed that he attempted to sign Preston North End hot-shot David Nugent in the summer.
The Eagles face Preston on Saturday and Taylor believes that such is the potential of the England Under-21 international, he could leave the Championship high-flyers during the January transfer window.
"I definitely wanted him here, but we found out he was looking to go to the Premiership," admitted Taylor.
"There was talk about Everton coming in for him and I think that was what he was looking to do.
"He is a good player and it wouldn't surprise me if he were a target for someone during the transfer window.
"He is a hard-working centre-forward, and he scores plenty of goals."
