Crystal Palace have identified a new centre-forward signing for the summer market.

HLN says Palace will send Michy Batshuayi back to Chelsea, while fellow Belgian Christian Benteke could also be put up for sale.

And arriving in their place could be Werder Bremen striker Max Kruse.

The 31 year-old Germany international is ready to leave Werder this summer and favours a move to England.

Palace have aleady enjoyed success in the German transfer market this past year with their swoop for former Schalke midfielder Max Meyer.
