Journalist Alan Nixon reported on his Patreon page that Crystal Palace are interested in signing Manchester City striker Divin Mubama, who is currently on loan at second-tier club Stoke City. The Premier League side are reportedly prepared to invest in a new striker in the January transfer window, due to manager Oliver Glasner's desire for greater squad depth and the team's goal-scoring difficulties. Mubama's performances, having scored five goals in 19 appearances for Stoke this season, have led to interest from Palace. The club's search for a new forward also coincides with existing striker Jean-Philippe Mateta being recently linked with a transfer to Serie A.
