Crystal Palace reportedly want to sign the CSKA Moscow starlet.
According to a report from Sky Sports, Crystal Palace are still waiting to see whether their £23 million bid for Fedor Chalov is accepted by CSKA Moscow.
The Eagles have been busy over the last few days, signing Victor Camarasa and James McCarthy.
Wilfried Zaha, meanwhile, has been heavily linked with en exit from Selhurst Park, after handing in a transfer request.
Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson will be desperate to bolster his attacking ranks, just in case the Ivorian does end up moving away from south London.
And Sky Sports (Live transfer feed, 09:53) are reporting that the Eagles have identified the signing of Chalov, 21, as a priority before this evening’s deadline.
It is claimed that Palace have submitted a £23 million bid for the striker, and are waiting for an answer from CSKA.
The Russian has recorded decent numbers for CSKA, with 32 goals and 15 assists in 90 appearances, and he really does seem to be one for the future.
Only time will tell, however, if Palace are to be successful in their pursuit of Chalov.
