Newcastle United, Crystal Palace chasing Richmond Boakye?

Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are reportedly chasing moves for Red Star Belgrade striker Richmond Boakye.

The forward has impressed for the Serbian outfit this term, scoring 15 goals in the top flight - form that has alerted the Premier League duo to his potential services.

According to HITC Sport, Newcastle, who failed with a bid for Feyenoord marksman Nicolai Jorgensen earlier in the window, could turn to Boakye, while Crystal Palace are seeking support for misfiring Belgian forward Christian Benteke.

Chelsea were also allegedly keeping tabs on Boakye, but their interest in the 24-year-old has significantly cooled since then.

Boakye is under contract with his current employers until 2020, although Red Star could end up losing their striker if a suitable bid is tabled this month.
