Crystal Palace will enter the winter market to bolster their anaemic squad after a mixed start to the Premier League season.

Oliver Glasner’s side hope to land a left wing-back and an attacker in the January window.

Slavia Prague’s 20-year-old talent El Hadji Malick Diouf is rated highly in South London, with the left wing-back understood to be Crystal Palace’s top priority.

Moves for James McAtee, Romain Esse or Rayan Cherki, however attractive, are unlikely this month.

Palace's parameters for adding an attacker are focused on a wide player rather than an attacking midfielder.

Ademola Ola-Adebomi has been recalled from his loan at SK Beveren. Sources have told the News Shopper that the 21-year-old is seeking a domestic loan. Fellow South London club Bromley are in pole position to sign the striker.

Asher Agbinone will also depart the club on loan this month. Several clubs within the football league have expressed interest in the attacker.
