PSG Offer Mateja Kezman To Espanyol - Report

Espanyol boss Mauricio Pochettino is weighing up whether or not to sign Mateja Kezman from Paris Saint-Germain after being offered the striker in the January transfer window.

The Blanc i Blau trainer held a board meeting this week to tell the club that signing a goalscorer was the priority as Raúl Tamudo remains sidelined, according to Sport.

Having scored just 17 goals in 19 matches, Pochettino has pinpointed that as the first area that he wants to improve upon and is deciding which player he thinks will improve his squad.

Kezman has reportedly been offered to Espanyol after allegedly falling out with PSG boss Paul Le Guen, but his record of just one goal this term for the French outfit may go against him.

Espanyol had been eyeing Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, but he joined Bologna instead, while Ernesto Farías and Felipe Caicedo were also on the club's list but both are out of the reach of Pochettino.

The Barcelona-based club's trainer has been in meetings with sporting director Paco Herrera and other members of the board, including Germán de la Cruz.

"We will try to satisfy the coach with his demands," De la Cruz explained. "He has faith in his current squad, but he has asked us for a striker.

"We have been working on this and while we have been frustrated in some areas, we are trying very hard to produce something."
