Crystal Palace are plotting for attacking reinforcements this summer and should now move for Marc Albrighton.
Roy Hodgson is looking to bolster his attacking options ahead of next term at Crystal Palace, and he should seriously consider looking to land Leicester City’s Marc Albrighton.
The Eagles flirted with relegation early last term under the win-less tenure of Frank de Boer, but Hodgson found a winning formula and finished just outside the top 10.
Zaha’s role in the team’s mid-season resurgence was absolutely pivotal and changed fortunes almost entirely.
Although it is good to have game-changing players around the relegation zone, it becomes dangerous to rely so heavily on one player, highlighting the need for attacking reinforcements.
One player that failed to match up to the lofty expectations set was record signing Christian Benteke, who bagged a meagre three goals in the Premier League last term.
The Belgian international became increasingly isolated as the season unfolded, underlining the need for a player to deliver quality and frequent service, to make the most of Benteke’s physical attributes.
Marc Albrighton could be a brilliant candidate for this exact reason. The Englishman has become renowned for reaching the by-line and putting in sensational crosses from either flank in his time with Leicester, amassing seven league assists this season, despite being deployed in a number of different positions.
With a powerful target man there is no telling how many assists the 28-year-old would register in a full season.
Add to that his industrious work-rate and obvious hunger to succeed and you have a serious asset for a side in the lower half of the table.
In short, Palace should make their move and see if Leicester are willing to do business.
