Crystal Palace are considering targeting Roma goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski on loan, with a potential option to make the move permanent.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace are interested in targeting a move for Roma goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski this summer.

Frank De Boer has just two senior goalkeepers to pick from currently. And with Julian Speroni now 38 and Wayne Hennessey having to pick the ball out of his net on three occasions in the opening day defeat to Huddersfield, it appears that the new Eagles boss is determined to bolster his options before the window shuts.

According to the Mail, Palace are keeping a keen eye on Roma stopper Skorupski – who is likely to be available during this window despite featuring for the Serie A side in pre-season.

The Mail reports that De Boer is interested in offering to take the Poland international on loan with an option to potentially make the deal permanent for £6 million.

Despite barely featuring for Roma since arriving in Italy in 2013, he has played regularly in the Italian top flight over the last couple of seasons, having spent two years on loan at Empoli.

Unfortunately, while Skorupski enjoyed plenty of game-time with Empoli, last season ended in extremely disappointing fashion as they were relegated.
