Matthew Etherington 'joins Peter Crouch on Tony Pulis wishlist'

Matthew Etherington reportedly joins Stoke teammate Peter Crouch in being a January target for former Potters boss, now Crystal Palace manager, Tony Pulis.

Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis is reportedly eyeing a double January reunion with his former Stoke City stars Peter Crouch and Matthew Etherington.

Crouch has been linked with a switch to the Eagles in the New Year to link up with the man that brought him to the Britannia Stadium in 2011.

The Daily Mail claims that Pulis now also wants to sign another of his Potters recruits, Etherington, to help boost Palace's hopes of avoiding relegation, which seemed a certainty before the Welshman took charge.

The 31-year-old winger has only made seven appearances in all competitions this season, and has not featured since the 3-3 draw with Swansea City on November 10, and therefore may be available when the transfer window reopens.

Crouch, who has started Stoke's last 13 games, could be more difficult to obtain, but Pulis is desperate to add the ex-England forward to his physical strike force of Marouane Chamakh and Cameron Jerome.
