oy Hodgson wants to sign Che Adams but Crystal Palace will weigh up alternative options before making their move for the Southampton striker.

Odsonne Edouard scored the only goal for Palace in their 1-0 win at Sheffield United on Saturday, with Jean-Philippe Mateta an unused substitute ahead of potentially departing the Eagles to raise funds for their refresh in attack.

Scotland international Adams wants a move back to the Premier League after Southampton were relegated last season.

Crystal Palace are considering a £10million offer for Adams, 27, this week but remain undecided on their favoured striking target.

Hodgson wants an experienced forward after losing Wilfried Zaha on a free transfer to Galatasaray last month.

Adams fits the bill but Palace will wait to see if they bank a substantial fee for wide forward Michael Olise, who is a target for both Chelsea and Manchester City

Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman hopes to hold onto his winger for another season but a £45m bid could force them to the negotiating table.

Hodgson could lose the ex-Reading star Olise, who remains out for a “considerable period” after tearing his hamstring with France Under-21s at the European Championships this summer.
