Roy Hodgson has asked Alberto Gilardino to begin a new chapter of his career at Premier League side Crystal Palace, it’s reported.
According to Gazzamercato, the 35-year-old centre-forward is seen as a possible solution to their dire situation.
He’s in negotiations and a decision on a contract to the end of the season should be made tomorrow.
Hodgson was called in this month after ex-Inter Coach Frank de Boer was sacked, but hasn’t so far been able to turn things around.

Gilardino won the 2006 World Cup with Italy and is currently a free agent after his contract with Pescara expired.
Over the past four years he has travelled extensively, playing for Bologna, Genoa, Guangzhou Evergrande, Fiorentina, Palermo, Empoli and Pescara.
He had a trial at MLS club Montreal Impact earlier this month, but was not offered a contract.
