Crystal Palace are going to ‘go for two or three signings’ ahead of the transfer window closing on September 1, according to Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor. Manager Patrick Vieira has overseen mass changes in personnel since arriving in south London back in July 2021 and could continue his overhaul of the first-team squad over the coming days.
When Vieira took over the reins from former boss Roy Hodgson, he inherited the oldest squad in the Premier League and quickly set about changing the makeup of his players.
Experienced campaigners such as Gary Cahill, Andros Townsend and Patrick van Aanholt made way for the likes of Marc Guehi, Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen.
And Vieira has stuck to similar principles this time around, targeting players who still have their best years ahead of them and can be sold on for significant profit should more affluent clubs come calling.
