Report: Crystal Palace keen to sign Michy Batshuayi

According to reports from The Mirror (transfer live blog; 02:01), Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is looking to sign two strikers in the January transfer window.

Hodgson said: “We’ve said since the summer transfer window we are looking to sign at least one, possibly two strikers and two full-backs. Nothing changes. I said it a year ago, I said it in the summer and I say it again.”

The report claims that the Eagles are interested in signing Cenk Tosun from Everton and Michy Batshuayi from Chelsea.

Crystal Palace were close to signing the Belgian striker in 2016 before he moved to Chelsea for a reported fee of £33 million.
