# Crystal Palace: Fans urge the club to bring in a new forward as trio of targets appear

**Crystal Palace are on the market for a new forward this window and they aren’t short of potential options.**

The [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8704235/Crystal-Palace-enquire-Fluminense-forward-Evanilson-tracking-winger-Jeremie-Boga.html) has outlined a trio of attackers in whom the Eagles have recently shown interest (relayed via [@cpfc\_xtra](https://twitter.com/cpfc_xtra/status/1302860626155507712)). 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-chelsea/transfers/verein/631). 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-benteke/leistungsdaten/spieler/50201/plus/0?saison=2019)).

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

> 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.
