# Palace approach £10m Monaco forward Guido Carrillo

Crystal Palace will look to sign AS Monaco forward Guido Carrillo in January to bolster their options in front of goal.

[ESPN](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/3312392/crystal-palace-want-to-boost-attack-with-monacos-guido-carrillo) report that the Eagles are keen on the in-form striker who has scored five goals in his last nine appearances this season.

The report goes as far to suggest that an approach has already been made.

Carrillo is valued at roughly £10 million and would give Roy Hodgson another option in the final third with the likes of Bakary Sako and Wilfried Zaha being used as makeshift centre-forwards in recent weeks.

Christian Benteke has recently returned from injury but remains the club’s only striker, leaving a lot of pressure on the shoulders of the Belgian striker.

Carrillo has been with Monaco since 2015 after joining from Estudiantes but has found regular first-team football hard to come by with the Ligue 1 outfit.

However, the 26-year-old has impressed since the departure of Kylian Mbappe, who joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.
