Crystal Palace have reportedly been informed that they may have the chance to sign Middlesbrough striker Britt Assombalonga when the January transfer market opens.
Palace are said to have enquired about the possibility of bringing the player in next month and talks are ongoing for the time being.
In a deal which could see Connor Wickham head in the opposite direction, it seems Palace may be successful in their pursuits of Assombalonga, according to TeamTalk.
Both Boro and his former side Sunderland are keen to land Wickham, who has fallen out of favour at Palace after a string of injuries and the Englishman may be a handy bargaining tool as the talks progress.
