James Tomkins could prove to be a really interesting player to look at. Crystal Palace provide a wide variety of options to choose from in their defense, with options from £4m and above.
Tomkins inpressed many managers last year by getting a total of 99 points and scoring 3 goals in the process. He also kept 9 clean sheets last season which is very impressive, keeping in mind the disastrous start to the Premier League season Crystal Palace had.
On paper, the opening fixtures of Crystal Palace are arguably one of easiest in the league. Matches against Fulham, Liverpool, Watford, Southampton, Huddersfield and Newcastle make up the first six fixtures for the club.
With a price tag of just £4.5m, Tomkins could prove to be an excellent option.
