Crystal Palace need another attacker in January
0:02
Fifth in the league, quarterfinals of the League Cup and European knockouts on the horizon
0:07
Palace have an opportunity to deliver a second successive historic season and potentially persuade their best ever manager to stay
0:14
A lot of that hinges on adding one more first-team quality piece to this side
0:19
But who? Palace need someone who is ready now. An on-brand pick
0:23
Raheem Sterling. Now hear me out. Palace love a Chelsea loan. Sterling wants out and fits the profile Palace are after
0:31
He can play either side, he's good on the shoulder of the last defender, and his attacking positioning is strong
0:36
Chelsea need to get rid, Palace need someone to take some minutes off Saar's shoulders
0:40
I see it. Brennan Johnson is a name that's been thrown around, and again, don't laugh at this suggestion
0:44
Johnson and Saar are very similar players. Good runners in behind, excellent finishers and top-notch positioning
0:50
Johnson would be a seamless tactical fit, and aged just 24, could represent good value if Spurs are willing to sell for around the £30m mark
0:58
This is a man who got 25 goal contributions for Spurs last season
1:02
and whilst he has holes in his game, Glasner's system would perfectly cover them
1:07
But my pick, a name that's been floating around this week, is Oscar Bob, and what a signing that would be
1:13
More Elise than Saar, Bob would solve arguably Palace's biggest problem right now
1:18
which is breaking down low blocks. He's young, he's hungry, he's immensely talented
1:23
and Man City are reportedly open to bids. It would be ambitious
1:27
but now is the time for Palace to be exactly that. January is a big month for the Eagles
1:33
both on and off the pitch. Let's see how they fare
