It's believed the attacker could move in January, which would put a number of Premier League on alert.

But the Eagles are favourites at 6/4 ahead of the next transfer window.

Fulham are second favourites at 9/2 ahead of Newcastle and Southampton in the market.

spokesperson Katie Baylis said: "With Antonio an afterthought at West Ham right now, it’s no surprise cross town rivals Palace feel he’s ripe for the picking.

"They are the 6/4 favourites for his next move with Fulham next at 9/2 and Newcastle at 11/2.”

Antonio has played second fiddle at the London Stadium this term and has started just four league games.

West Ham are believed to be seeking more firepower in January, which would see Antonio slip further down the pecking order.
