Without a doubt Crystal Palace’s Achilles this season, none of the club’s strikers have made a solid case for their inclusion in the starting-eleven.

In the Premier League this year, Dwight Gayle has no goals in seven appearances, Fraizer Campbell has none in nine, Marouane Chamakh has zero in ten matches and Connor Wickham has just one successful strike in 12.

Yes, that’s right! The Eagles’ strikers have a combined total of a single goal this season.

Emmanuel Adebayor’s influence on the squad is tentative and still up in the air. However to match Jamie Vardy’s excellence this year Crystal Palace may have to invest in a striker.

The club’s best bet would probably be a proven premier league goalscorer, such as Chelsea’s Loic Remy. However, some foreign talents can be a sensation in their first season, as Demba Ba and Pappis Cisse proved at Newcastle.
