Crystal Palace could see even more transfer exits over the final week of the transfer window, with two stars eyeing a move away.
Oliver Glasner has already overseen a huge squad turnover so far, with both incomings and outgoings taking place at Selhurst Park.
Chadi Riad, Daichi Kamada and Ismaila Sarr have already joined the club, while Eddie Nketiah is expected to be the next signing at Crystal Palace.
However, those new arrivals have only paved over some key losses as Michael Olise, Joachim Andersen and Jordan Ayew have all left for new adventures.
They may not be the only ones though, with goalkeeper Sam Johnstone looking to leave Crystal Palace, along with one other ace.

Oliver Glasner reveals Sam Johnstone and Naouirou Ahamada transfer stance
Speaking ahead of the clash against Norwich City in the Carabao Cup second round, Glasner revealed that two of his stars have asked to leave.
The Crystal Palace boss told the media: “I don’t want to talk about individuals now.
“We have talks with every single player. Everybody knows the situation. We know the situation – the players are thinking about it.
“[Naouirou] Ahamada has been here now for more than two years and he didn’t have as many minutes as he needs for his age.
“We spoke together and he thinks it will be good for him to get more minutes. It’s very difficult with all the competition for his position to get minutes here.
“Maybe there is another option for him. This is what he is looking for. This is what may or may not happen.
“It doesn’t make sense to always keep secrets. Sam [Johnstone] told us he wants to leave. If he finds a club, he can leave. That is not the best situation to get a start.”
It suggests that with very little time left, destinations will have to be found for the duo before the window closes.
Naouirou Ahamada development
It will have been a difficult 18 months or so for Naouirou Ahamada since he made the £10.5million switch from VFB Stuttgart.
The 22-year-old has struggled for minutes in midfield, which hasn’t been helped by the breakthrough of Adam Wharton since his arrival in January.
It leaves the Frenchman in a tricky spot, where he could still look to develop but clearly needs the game time to do so.
It remains to be seen whether that would be in a loan switch or permanent exit, but there is little time to make that decision now.
