Middlesbrough fan site One Boro, via Boro Breakdown, has alleged that striker Britt Assombalonga could be on his way to Crystal Palace, and Eagles fans on Twitter have been left fuming by the rumour.

The south London outfit look to firmly be in the market for a new centre-forward following Alexander Sorloth’s loan exit, with CSKA Moscow’s Fedor Chalov and RB Leipzig’s Jean-Kevin Augustin just two names that have been mentioned in recent days.

However, One Boro, via Boro Breakdown, have now claimed that the 26-year-old Championship attacker Assombalonga could be the man to come in and compete with Christian Benteke and Connor Wickham, as things stand.

The former Peterborough United man has never played in the Premier League, but he has scored 61 goals in 158 matches in England’s second tier – including 14 last term and one on Friday night against Luton Town.

However, Eagles supporters on the popular social media platform are far from enamoured with the link to the Boro man, with one even saying “I’d cancel Sorloth’s loan over this”, which shows how unpopular this potential move would be with the criticism the Norway international has received in the past.
