Crystal Palace and Swansea City are scouting Anderlecht striker Stefano Okaka, according to Belgian daily Het Laatste Nieuws.

The Italy international, who was linked with a move to Leeds United in the summer, joined Anderlecht from Sampdoria in July.




Okaka has been in fine form for his new employers, scoring 12 times and providing four assists in 33 appearances in all competitions since his summer switch.

As a result, Crystal Palace and Swansea City, who are both currently in the lower half of the Premier League, have sent scouts to watch Okaka in action.
 


The Premier League duo are pondering over making a move for the forward this summer, with Okaka’s present contract with Anderlecht running until 2019.
