Crystal Palace have been atrocious in the goalscoring department this season and now attacking reinforcements are on the agenda.
The Eagles have the second-worst attack in the Premier League, scoring just eight goals after 11 games as only Southampton have scored less.

The failure to replace Michael Olise has led to a lack of chances being created and additionally, when given these chances, Crystal Palace have been awful in front of goal.
Dougie Freedman will therefore be tasked with improving Glasner’s attacking options in January, with reports claiming Crystal Palace will definitely sign a forward.
There have been plenty of names linked.
Mathys Tel of Bayern Munich has been linked with making the loan switch, while Oumar Diakite could be signed permanently.
Elsewhere Millwall’s Romain Esse is a target, while Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk is also being linked.

Crystal Palace interested in Luiz Henrique
With so many options being linked, an attacker would seem nailed on to join Glasner’s squad this season. Now, Brazilian talent Luiz Henrique has joined the long list of options.
It comes according to a report from Caught Offside that Botafogo’s winger is attracting interest at Selhurst Park.
The 23-year-old is valued at £25m and he intends to target a move to the Premier League where it is not just Crystal Palace who are interested.
Fulham and Everton are both also keen and set to challenge the Eagles. All three have had scouts at Botafogo games recently and been impressed with his performances.
Botafogo are not keen to sell, but they know he is bound to attract interest and an offer could tempt John Textor and Co into accepting.
Latest on John Textor’s possible sale of shares
The advantage Crystal Palace has in the race for Henrique is that a 45 per cent stakeholder in the club Textor is also an owner of Botafogo.
In theory, this could mean that Freedman and Steve Parish have a foot in the door and Textor may be keen to do the Eagles a favour and leave himself a positive legacy at Selhurst Park.
The American is looking to sell his shares in Crystal Palace.
Textor missed out on acquiring Everton with his shares of the Eagles proving hard to sell – despite a consortium including Jason Kidd showing interest.
Textor selling would see a new major shareholder at Crystal Palace as he currently owns the most shares, so we would hope the part-takeover would see positive changes for the Eagles.
