A report from the Daily Mail claims that Crystal Palace are interested in signing Benik Afobe from Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The 22-year-old has been in fine form for Wolves this season and has scored nine goals in 25 league appearances.
If he does make the switch, Afobe would be the second Wolves player to do so in recent months after Bakary Sako joined Palace on a free transfer in the summer.
Palace have been linked with moves for numerous strikers in the January window, with Charlie Austin and Loic Remy just two of the names mentioned, so it does appear that the Eagles are in the market for a striker or two.
The lack of goals from forwards is the only real negative the season so far, and it’s amazing to consider where they could be in the table if they had a frontman finding the back of the net.
With Patrick Bamford returning to Chelsea and Dwight Gayle rumoured to be leaving, Alan Pardew will be keen to bring in reinforcements.
