Destro told he can leave Bologna with Palace keen

Italian striker Mattia Destro has been told that he can leave Bologna in January, with Crystal Palace and Fulham both keen to sign the player.

Tuttomercatoweb report that the Serie A side are ready to part ways with the forward in the new year.

Destro has been one of the many strikers to be linked with a move to Selhurst Park, with Roy Hodgson keen to add to his squad in January.

Palace have lacked goals all season and will be out to sign a striker in January.

Destro has been linked with moves to the Premier League for some time, coming close to joining Chelsea earlier in his career.

The Italian was once a very highly-rated young prospect in Serie A, however, his career has not quite taken off in the way that some had expected it to.

A number of strikers including Gabriel Barbosa, Patrick Schick and Michail Antonio have been suggested as potential targets for Palace as they look to add goals to their squad in a bid to avoid relegation.
