Crystal Palace eyeing shock £10m swoop for Watford striker Stefano Okaka
Okaka, 28, has made just six appearances for the Hornets this term and may be keen on a fresh start
CRYSTAL PALACE are weighing up a shock move for Watford’s Italian striker Stefano Okaka.
The Eagles want more competition for misfiring Christian Benteke and Okaka can go for a knockdown £10million.
Okaka, 28, has made just six appearances for the Hornets this term and may be keen on a fresh start with Palace.
There he would have a fighting chance of starting a game.
Palace boss Roy Hodgson has had to rely on Benteke, whose form has been below average, with some of his displays criticised by the manager.
Palace are looking for two new strikers.
The Londoners lost out to Everton when they signed Turkish forward Cenk Tosun this week.
SunSport reported how the Eagles have reportedly made a £16million bid for Lille's powerful centre-half Ibrahim Amadou.
