Crystal Palace have set their sights on signing Napoli striker Leonardo Pavoletti, according to TMW.
The 28-year-old has had some previous links with English clubs in the past. 2015 saw Leeds United hold talks with the Italian, but a deal never materialised.
And now the forward, who struggled to have the desired impact in Naples since his arrival from Genoa in January, is on Palace’s books after becoming surplus to requirements at the Serie A outfit.
Frank de Boer is keen on signing a new striker before the window closes, as his side lacked the cutting edge against Premier League new boys Huddersfield, as they were condemned to a 3-0 defeat at Selhurst Park.
Pavoletti only appeared four times in Napoli colours last season, and is seeking a move away as he looks to revitalise his career.
Palace, who have signed Timothy Fosu-Mensah (loan), Jairo Riedewald and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (loan) this summer, will seemingly look to make Pavoletti their fourth summer signing.
