Spezia forward David Okereke has reportedly emerged as a target for Crystal Palace.
It is claimed by Italian news outlet TMW that the Eagles are among the clubs who have been alerted by the good form of the youngster in Serie B this season.
Okereke has found the net on six occasions in the second tier of Italian football this term having made 16 appearances. He has also chipped in with a further eight assists.
The 21-year-old’s performances have reportedly piqued the interests of Crystal Palace, who sent scouts to observe the striker in action for Spezia in their recent 4-4 draw against Brescia on Sunday.
Belgian club Standard Liege are stated by TMW to also be in the race for Okereke after sending a representative to keep tabs on his performance at the weekend.
The Eagles could be on the lookout for a new striker in the final days of the January transfer window following Alexander Sorloth’s loan move to KAA Gent earlier this month.
