Crystal Palace are chasing Blackburn Rovers striker Rudy Gestede.

The Daily Mail says Palace have made a move to sign Gestede.

Having already landed Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo on loan until the end of the season, new Eagles boss Alan Pardew wants to strengthen his forward line further with a move for Gestede.

The Benin international has scored 12 goals in 24 games for Blackburn this term, alerting a host of Premier League sides.

Hull City have made an opening £4million offer and West Bromwich Albion are also interested but have balked at Blackburn's £6m price tag.
