Crystal Palace are on the market for a new forward this window and they aren’t short of potential options.
The Daily Mail has outlined a trio of attackers in whom the Eagles have recently shown interest (relayed via @cpfc_xtra). Michy Batshuayi, Jeremie Boga and Brazilian youngster Evanilson are all currently on Palace’s radar.

Chelsea are in a position where they are in need of balancing their books after vast summer spending. As a result, the likes of Batshuayi are currently being dangled on the transfer market in order to make back some cash. However, Palace are only interested in re-signing the Belgium international on loan.
This topic has sparked a lot of conversation among the Selhurst Park fan base, with many simply eager to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.

One supporter feels that Batshuayi is a player who ‘needs to be priority’ for Roy Hodgson this window. Another fan has said the update is ‘encouraging if true’, as Christian Benteke had a disappointing season, scoring just two Premier League goals in 24 appearances (via Transfermarkt).

Michi needs to be priority. He done well for us one loan before. This time hopefully he will be even better.

Whether it’s Evanilson or
Batshuayi, as long we’ve got a striker (preferably by Saturday) then I’ll be happy 🔴🔵— Ben Fleury🇬🇧🎭⚽️ (@KingB1994) September 7, 2020
Not sure why Chelsea want to give Batshuayi a new contract. He’s way down the pecking order. His value has dropped greatly as well. At 26, I’d rather we bought him.
