Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez is a target for Crystal Palace.

The Mirror says he could be allowed to move on after falling down the pecking order at St Mary's.

Manolo Gabbiadini's January arrival and brilliant impact have further hindered Rodriguez's hopes of regular football under Saints boss Claude Puel.

Rodriguez was already battling Charlie Austin and Shane Long for game time.

Palace are now monitoring Rodriguez and are ready to fight long-term admirers West Brom to hand him a new Premier League challenge providing they stay up.
