da realbet： Crystal Palace, aside from the efforts of Wickham and Bamford, have failed to find a striker who can regularly produce for them in the final third and, as he moved to Southampton, missed out on Charlie Austin.
da imperador bet： Alan Pardew had the honour of managing Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse when at Newcastle, but he has really struggled to find a striker to lead the line of his Palace side.
Yannick Bolasie, Wilfried Saha and Bakary Sako are absolutely terrifying for many defenders, yet the lack of a natural centre forward who is up to the same standard as those three has seen many frustrating performances from the Eagles.
For a side with such talent and prospects in the league this season, it is a surprise that there has been no noticeable investment in the January window so far and Simone Zaza could be a wonderful addition for the London club.
Here are FIVE reasons the Eagles must go after the Italian forward..
Super Juve..
The talent of Dybala and Mandzukic have seen Juventus hit some superb form in the Serie A this season, and Zaza has been nothing more than a reserve member of the squad for the majority of this season.
The Italian is likely to be open to a move considering his lack of game time, having started just 3 league games this season.
Wick’s woes
As Bamford’s loan has been cancelled, Connor Wickham takes on the entirety of the striking duties at Selhurst Park and the ex-Sunderland man is yet to show any regular goal scoring form.
Even though Bakary Sako has impressed in brief spells as the number 9, the Eagles are in dire need of a striker who can produce on a regular basis.
Bonkers campaign
In this weirdest of seasons, sides will need to take advantage of this transfer window to make sure they have the squad to finish as highly as possible.
With every side looking like they could lose each week, seizing the opportunity to sign a player of Zaza’s calibre could make the difference for Pardiola.
Euro dreams
Palace will be dreaming of making it to the Europa League for next season and a reliable goal scoring striker is crucial if they are to make it to that standard.
This Italian forward would easily displace Connor Wickham and act as a focal point for Pardew’s attacking side to drive forward.
Highest calibre
Other than Yohan Cabaye, Palace’s squad is a bit short of experience at the highest level in Europe and signing Zaza would add to that.
If the Eagles are going to make it into the Europa for next season, this level of nous will be crucial.
