Crystal Palace are among a number of Premier League clubs said to be closely monitoring FC Lorient forward Terem Moffi.
The 23-year-old is attracting transfer interest from across Europe after an impressive season so far in Ligue 1. Moffi has scored ten goals in 14 appearances this term, which includes a brace in league games against Clermont Foot, RC Lens, and Stade Brestois.
His performances for Les Merlus have not gone unnoticed it seems, with Jeunes Footeux reporting that three Premier League clubs are looking at Moffi as a potential summer transfer target, including Palace.

Brighton and Aston Villa are the others named in the report, with the latter also linked with Olympique Lyonnais striker Moussa Dembele.
But the Premier League sides will also face competition from clubs in the German Bundesliga. Borussia Monchengladbach are said to be looking at Moffi as a replacement for Marcus Thuram, who has also been linked with Villa.
Jeunes Footeux suggest that a €20 million (around £17million), would be enough to tempt Lorient to sell their powerful striker. Moffi is currently contracted to Les Merlus until 2024.
Moffi was once a member of the Buckswood Football Academy in Hastings, east Sussex, before moving to Lithuania to play for Kauno Zalgiri and then Riteriai. The Nigerian signed for Belgium side KV Kortrijk in January 2020, scoring five goals in 31 appearances before his October 2020 transfer to Lorient.
