Crystal Palace is planning to add three new players during the next summer transfer window

According to Football Insider, Crystal Palace is planning to add three new players during the next summer transfer window. Three new players will be joining the Eagles at Selhurst Park as they attempt to build on their impressive finish to the Premier League season under Roy Hodgson.

Before the 2023–24 season, the Eagles are expected to acquire a new right defender, central midfielder, and striker. Following Patrick Vieira’s firing, Hodgson was reappointed as manager on an interim basis. However, Palace have announced that they are still looking to hire a permanent coach this summer.

In preparation for the new manager’s arrival, the club’s scouting department is working feverishly to fill three key positions. Under Hodgson, Joel Ward has been the starting right back for Palace. Now 33 years old, the club is looking to replace the English defender with someone younger this summer.

Luka Milivojevic, the club captain, turned 32 last month, so the team is also looking to replace him. With Wilfried Zaha possibly leaving this summer, the London club will place a premium on signing a striker. His contract is set to expire this summer, and talks for a new one have stagnated.

On Friday (12 May), sources told the site that Zaha is’very likely’ to depart Palace this summer. In the offseason, Palace’s first priority will be to find a suitable replacement for the Ivory Coast international.
