Attacking reinforcements lead the transfer shortlist for Crystal Palace amid a run of just one win in 11 Premier League games this season.
This season goals have proven a rare commodity for Oliver Glasner and early rumours about January are suggesting that additions will be made in January.
David Ornstein reported that Crystal Palace will definitely sign an attacker in January. While further links have outlined that the Eagles want a creative attacker.
As Crystal Palace sit 18th in the League with the second least goals scored, it is little surprise to see this become a priority for Dougie Freedman.

Romain Esse is one option to be linked to Crystal Palace, meanwhile, Manchester United’s Antony has also been rumoured as a loan option.
So with little over a month to go until the window opens, now one Eagles target is supposedly beginning to take steps towards a move to England.
Crystal Palace target Bazoumana Toure is set for January move
It was back in July that Palace had a reported interest in Bazoumana Toure who had been impressing in Sweden.
The teenager has since continued to catch the eye, leading to reports in October that Palace were looking into a £9m move for Toure. Now a possible move for the Ivorian has taken a positive twist.
It comes according to a report from Swedish outlet Fotboll Direkt which claimed that Hammarby now consider Toure to be lost, with his move to England already underway.
Hammarby have already started looking for an alternative in Africa claims the report, as Toure is set to make the switch in January – although no specific club is named.
This however should be good news for the Eagles considering Crystal Palace have been most heavily linked with Toure.
Despite previous valuations being as high as £9m, now Hammarby are said to be asking for just £7.1m – which could be an absolute bargain.
Toure could give Oliver Glasner something different in attack
The Eagles’ attack has been incredibly stagnant and an injection of a player like 18-year-old exciting winger Toure would be a very positive addition.
In the Allsvenskan this season, Toure has been a regular for Hammarby – who currently sit second in the league, nine points adrift of Malmo.
The No.28 winger has scored nine goals and assisted three in 23 games – which is very impressive for his debut campaign in Europe after a £368k move from ASEC Mimosas.
Toure is a quick, silky and also increasingly dangerous winger who could be exactly what Glasner needs in his team to turn around underwhelming attacking performances.
