Report: Prolific Dutch striker is being watched by Palace

Wout Weghorst

Crystal Palace are reportedly keeping an eye on Wolfsburg forward Wout Weghorst.

Palace are are among the lowest scorers in the Premier League and are desperate for a striker to bolster their front line.

Dutchman Weghorst impressed for Wolfsburg last term by scoring 17 goals in his debut season.

He’s continued his rich vein of form, with four goals in seven Bundesliga matches and Calciomercato is reporting that Palace have been observing him.

The 27-year-old Dutch international has been used as a target man but also has shown his goal-poaching instincts.

Meanwhile, Palace could still hijack Flamengo’s move for Inter Milan hotshot Gabriel Barbosa who is currently on loan with the Brazilian outfit.
