# Palace interested in Senegal striker

According to an emerging report from French news outlet [L’Equipe](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Crystal-palace-pense-a-moussa-sow/708550?utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#link_time=1469098836), Crystal Palace are exploring the possibility of signing Al-Ahli striker Moussa Sow.

It comes as no surprise to see Palace linked with moves for strikers and Sow is the latest name mentioned as a potential signing for Alan Pardew’s men ahead of an important upcoming Premier League season.

The Eagles have been left short up top as a result of Dwight Gayle’s move to Newcastle and Emmanuel Adebayor’s short-lived tenure in a Palace shirt coming to an end.

Sow, however, would provide another attacking option for Pardew to choose from and he boasts an impressive goalscoring record.

In his three years at Fenerbahce – his former club before switching to Al-Ahli in the United Arab Emirates – he managed to notch a massively impressive 52 goals in 107 games; a stat close to a goal every two games.

Sow has also impressed on the international stage, scoring 11 goals in his 29 appearances for Senegal.
