Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway faces stiff competition for DR Congo striker Jeremy Bokila.
The Mirror says Holloway gave Zuilte Waragem hit man Bokila a trial at the weekend just after he had spent three days with Dougie Freedman's Bolton Wanderers.
And while Wanderers try to raise funds for the £1million forward Palace have stepped in and may close the deal in the next few days.
French side St Etienne are also interested in Bokila.
