Journalist provides an update on the key positions that Palace want this January

The Athletic journalist Matt Woosnam has revealed where Crystal Palace are attempting to strengthen this January.

Speaking in a Q&A ahead of the Eagles clash with Manchester City, the reporter revealed the two key areas that the club will probably want to be strengthening when the January transfer window opens up again in the new year.

He said:

They definitely want to sign a striker if someone is available at the right price but we all know they aren’t exactly 10 a penny.

Also, I expect that they are looking at the full-back positions. They have some of the money from the AWB transfer to spend so I’d expect some incomings in January.

Read Crystal Palace’s verdict

If Matt is right here, then Palace have got it spot on with their transfer activity this January.

Striker is exactly where the club need some talent, with the Eagles a Jordan Ayew injury away from being in serious trouble.

They will also be looking for the illusive Aaron Wan-Bissaka replacement, which has been a priority for a while seemingly.

This looks to be great news for Palace fans.
