Crystal Palace are interested in signing Leicester City striker Shinji Okazaki on loan this month, according to The Independent.
The Japan international forward has been linked with a number of clubs during the January transfer window, having fallen out of favour under manager Claude Puel at the King Power Stadium.
In 13 Premier League appearances this season, the 32-year old forward has only started once for the Foxes, and has subsequently been linked with a move away from the club.
Crystal Palace are rumoured to be in the market for a forward this month, having struggled to find a consistent goalscoring forward in recent times.
Earlier today, reports linked the Eagles with a loan move for Everton forward Cenk Tosun, but IndySport claim that Roy Hodgson could also look to Okazaki to ease his striking woes.
The former Mainz man would be expected to move to Selhurst Park on a short-term loan deal this month, if Palace do decide to shore up their interest.
