Crystal Palace are considering a £30m double swoop for Brentford’s Neal Maupay and Ollie Watkins.
According to the Sutton and Croydon Guardian, Palace are interested in a deal to sign the Brentford pair this summer.
The report claims that Roy Hodgson is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of next season and has identified the pair as players who can add goals to his team.
Maupay was one of the best players in the Championship this season and scored 28 goals in all competitions for Brentford, only Tammy Abraham for Aston Villa and Teemu Pukki for Norwich scored more.
Ollie Watkins, meanwhile, was involved in 21 goals in the Championship – with 12 goals and nine assists to his name from a wide position.
Aston Villa, Norwich and Sheffield United are all said to be interested in signing Maupay, but there is no mention of any competition for Watkins’ signature.
