Crystal Palace are said to be interested in signing Stuttgart forward Serhou Guirassy in January.
According to 90 min, Palace are interested in the striker, with Brentford and West Ham also wanting to sign the Guinea international.
Guirassy already has 13 league goals this campaign, including two hat-tricks against Mainz and Wolfsburg – with his goals firing Stuttgart to second in the Bundesliga after seven matches.
The 27-year-old only joined Stuttgart on a permanent basis this summer after an impressive loan spell last campaign, but his new deal sees him have a €20 million release clause – an absolute bargain.
Crystal Palace want Guirassy
Stuttgart striker Guirassy, who has been compared to English legend Wayne Rooney, has scored more goals than Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane after his big-money move from Tottenham Hotspur.
30-year-old Kane has enjoyed a great start to his first Bundesliga campaign, scoring eight times – but the Englishman is already five behind Stuttgart’s number nine.
Guirassy enjoyed a successful season on loan at Stuttgart last year, however, this season he’s taken his performances to the next level, with the 27-year-old just one goal off his tally from last campaign after just seven outings.
Guirassy on a potential move to the Premier League
Speaking to Bild at the end of September, the in-form striker refused to rule out a future move to England’s top flight.
“We [Stuttgart] have a good team, a good coach and incredible fans. We feel very comfortable as a family in Stuttgart. That’s why I decided to stay at VfB.
“Not exactly a dream. But if there is an option to move to the Premier League at some point, why not? But it’s not like I dream about it every day.”
