Palace draw up list of January targets

As the January transfer window edges ever nearer, Palace have already begun working on potential additions to the squad, according to the Croydon Advertiser.

Despite the 5-1 thrashing of Newcastle at the weekend, many fans have urged to the Eagles to continue to build the squad, specifically up front.

Sporting Lisbon’s Islam Slimani has been linked with the Londoners recently, but Keith Millen was coy on the speculation.

We are looking at a lot of players in this country and abroad.

If the manager and the Chairman feel like they want to do business, we are trying to do a list of players who will improve us. That’s an ongoing process really and our scouting department are busy trying to do that at the moment.

Many Palace fans were clamouring for attacking reinforcements after the side’s dismal display against Sunderland on Monday Night Football, however, Pardew’s side responded in the perfect fashion with five goals against Newcastle.

Palace reportedly had sent scouts to watch Algerian international Slimani, who has nine goals in 19 appearances this season, but Connor Wickham’s performance on Saturday may have changed the minds of the Palace management.

The Eagles could still stand to add some creativity in the side. while the age of Damien Delaney and Brede Hangeland worries many and these are the areas that Palace could realistically look at improving in the January window.
