According to the Express, both Crystal Palace and West Ham United are monitoring Ivory Coast international striker Cyriac Gohi.
The exclusive report further suggests that West Ham has been tracking the 25-year-old’s progress since January.
In addition, Oostende apparently understands that they’ll lose Gohi in the summer due to his impressive 2015/2016 season, and will demand a transfer fee between £2.3 million and £3.1 million.
Furthermore, Crystal Palace has only recently started eyeing the 25-year-old’s progress. The Ivorian striker has appeared in 28 league matches this season, scoring an impressive 13 goals.
Following an average spell with Anderlecht between 2012 through 2015, Gohi saw himself make a move to Oostende in the summer.
Oostende has enjoyed a successful season of their own. The Ostend based club currently holds the fourth place spot in the Jupiler League, hoping at a chance for European football next season.
Cyriac Gohi should favour a move to Crystal Palace over West Ham, due to their plethora of capable strikers, such as Andy Carroll, Enner Valencia, and Diafra Sakho, who are all fighting for a first-team spot.
With Palace’s struggles up front this season, the London club hopes to strengthen their attack when the Summer transfer window opens. With the report that Gohi will only cost the Premier League side a few million, the 25-year-old should be a low risk for the Crystal Palace side.
