Crystal Palace are reportedly monitoring Portland Timbers forward Fanendo Adi ahead of the summer transfer window.

Adi has made a bright impact for the Timbers since signing from Copenhagen in June 2014.

The Nigerian has scored a club-record 31 goals in his 65 appearances for Portland and helped fire the club to the MLS Cup last season.

The 25-year-old’s performances have not gone unnoticed and Yahoo Sports say Adi is gaining substantial interest from Crystal Palace.

The Eagles have been desperately short of firepower this season and are expected to bolster Alan Pardew’s attacking options in the summer transfer window.

Work permit issues may block a move to England, however, and it is claimed several French and Chinese sides are also interested in Adi.

Adi, who received his first national team call-up in March, has also been linked with West Ham in recent weeks.
