5 Players Who Could Solve the Lack of Goals at Crystal Palace

#4 Fernando Llorente

Fernando Llorente was a massive success at Swansea

The early summer had seen Crystal Palace linked with bringing former Spain international Fernando Llorente to Selhurst Park, and come January this should be a move that should be rekindled.

The former Sevilla striker has not featured regularly for Tottenham since his arrival and, should Harry Kane not be available to lead the line for Spurs, Llorente would not be the favourite to take this position in the team.

At the age of 33, Llorente must be considering his next move to give himself an opportunity to play first-team football. Crystal Palace would be ideal for the big Spaniard, especially when you consider the chances they create from the wide positions with the likes of Zaha, Andros Townsend and Van Aanholt to provide crosses.

Llorente would have to still be considered as one of the best forwards to attack crosses, especially when considering the links Antonio Conte had to try and sign his former striker while in charge at Chelsea.

The target man would be an ideal addition for this Palace attack. His ability to hold the ball up and bring the likes of Zaha, Meyer, and Townsend into play would be a major benefit and his ability in both boxes will be of great advantage.

Signing the fringe striker from Tottenham should not be the hardest move to pull off and this must be considered a strong option for Hodgson and Crystal Palace moving forward.
