Crystal Palace join West Ham in the race to sign Emenike

Crystal Palace are believed to have joined the race to sign Nigerian striker Emmanuel Emenike from Fenerbache.

London rivals West Ham United were said to be in for the forward, but now Palace have registered their interest.

The likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Nicklas Bendtner and Loic Remy have been the main names linked with the Eagles in the last seven days, but Alan Pardew did admit two weeks ago he had “several” strikers on his radar.

Emenike featured for Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup and has been on loan from Besiktas at Dubai club Al Ain.
