Agent of CSKA Moscow Striker Reveals Previous Interest From Crystal Palace Manager Roy Hodgson

The agent of CSKA Moscow striker Fyodor Chalov has claimed Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson is a big fan of his client and says the Eagles could make another move for him next summer.

Palace have struggled to find a consistent goalscoring striker over the last couple of seasons, with Christian Benteke, Connor Wickham, Jordan Ayew and Alexander Sorloth all having difficulty in front of goal. They scored just five goals between them last season.

They have continued to struggle this current season and Sorloth has been shipped out on loan to Turkish side Trabzonspor as a result of his failure to solve Palace's goalscoring problems.
