Crystal Palace are eyeing Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert.

The Daily Mail says Palace are in the market for a striker and have been chasing Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis.

However, with the Welsh club due to sell Wilfried Bony to Manchester City for £25million, Palace realise signing Gomis is now more tricky.

Palace manager Alan Pardew is keen to explore his options - with Lambert among the names he is looking at.

West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City are also interested in Lambert, who has only scored two goals in 22 appearances since his £4m summer move from Southampton.
