Palace have added two strikers to their ranks this summer.

West Bromwich Albion have enquired about Crystal Palace striker Connor Wickham, according to the Guardian.
The report, published at 12:11pm on Tuesday, adds that Palace would have to sign a replacement before considering Wickham’s exit.
However, they have now done this, landing Chelsea’s Loic Remy on a season-long loan.

Wickham only arrived at Selhurst Park a year ago from Sunderland and has scored seven goals in 28 Eagles appearances.
However, the signing of Remy, in addition to the club-record capture of Christian Benteke from Liverpool, looks to have damaged the 23-year-old hopes of securing regular game time this season.
And a move to the Hawthorns could offer some sanctuary, with West Brom a little thin on the ground where strikers are concerned – especially if Saido Berahino leaves the club this window.

Were that to happen, the Baggies would be left with only Salomon Rondon and Rickie Lambert as recognised number nines, although youngster Jonathan Leko and new recruit Nacer Chadli can both play there if required.
Manager Tony Pulis is expected to splash the cash before Wednesday’s 11:00pm deadline, with midfielders Ignacio Camacho and William Carvalho strongly linked.
