Palace interested in Huddersfield striker Mounie

Crystal Palace have joined Newcastle United and Watford in the race to sign Huddersfield Town striker Steve Mounie, according to TEAMTalk.

The three sides are all looking to bolster their attacking ranks and have identified Benin international Mounie as a possible signing.

The 24-year-old, who made the move to Yorkshire in a £12m deal from Montpellier, looks set to leave the Terriers following their relegation to the Championship. 

Mounie has scored 11 times during his two-year stay in England, making 63 appearances in all competitions under both David Wagner and Jan Siewert. 

Palace boss Roy Hodgson is desperate to add to his options up front, especially with star winger Wilfried Zaha keen on a move away from Selhurst Park this summer. 

The Eagles scored 51 goals in their 38 Premier Lague encounters last season, with midfielder Luka Milivojevic Palace’s top scorer with 12 league goals. 

A move for Mounie could well be a realistic one and Huddersfield could be willing to accept an offer below the £12m they paid Montpellier two years ago, however, Palace will have to battle both Newcastle and Watford.
