# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Adam Armstrong news

**Crystal Palace are leading the way to sign Blackburn Rovers forward Adam Armstrong, according to [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9865757/Crystal-Palace-lead-chase-20m-rated-Blackburn-striker-Adam-Armstrong.html).**

And a number of Palace supporters have been sharing their thoughts on the news on social media.

[The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9865757/Crystal-Palace-lead-chase-20m-rated-Blackburn-striker-Adam-Armstrong.html) claim that the Eagles, Norwich City, Southampton and Watford are all interested in the 24-year-old, but it’s Selhurst Park that is the forward’s preferred destination.

Palace have had an initial bid rejected by Rovers, who are holding out for £20m for their striker. The Eagles remain in advanced talks over a move, with Armstrong netting [29](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/leistungsdaten/spieler/250426/plus/0?saison=2020) goals in [43](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/leistungsdaten/spieler/250426/plus/0?saison=2020) appearances last season.

Armstrong, who can also play out [wide](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/profil/spieler/250426), appears to be Patrick Vieira’s next target and first potential attacking addition.

[Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11706/12373598/adam-armstrong-crystal-palace-in-advanced-talks-to-sign-blackburn-rovers-striker) also picked up on Palace’s interest in Armstrong, believing they are in advanced talks over a move.
