Crystal Palace are pushing to sign Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert.

The Times says new Eagles chief Alan Pardew is keen on bringing in a frontman this month in a bid for add much-needed firepower to his relegation-threatened side.

The Selhurst Park chief was keen on bringing Arsenal's Yaya Sanogo to the club, however, he looks set for a loan switch to Bordeaux instead.

Palace will bid to land Lambert on a loan deal until the end of the season, with a move for Gomis looking more and more unlikely with Wilfried Bony set to leave the south Wales club.
