# Crystal Palace considering swoop for Jay Rodriguez

West Brom striker Jay Rodriguez is reportedly a target for Crystal Palace this summer.

It’s claimed by Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett that the Eagles are keeping an eye on the striker’s situation at the Hawthorns, with a summer exit seemingly likely.

Rodriguez was a standout performer for the Baggies in a torrid season for the club as they were consigned to relegation. The former Southampton man found the net on seven occasions in the league.

Crystal Palace are likely to be on the lookout for added attacking quality this summer following the shortcomings of Christian Benteke throughout last season.

The 28-year-old will not leave the Baggies cheaply, though, with Dorsett claiming that West Brom could seek a fee worth upwards of £20 million for the forward.

Burnley are [reportedly](https://readwestbrom.com/2018/05/30/burnley-negotiating-deal-to-sign-jay-rodriguez/) in negotiations with West Brom over a move for the attacker, so Palace may have to move quickly if they are to land Rodriguez.
