Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce will outline transfer plans to chairman Steve Parish in the next couple of days and options to strengthen his attack will be high on his wishlist.
Allardyce saw his side draw a blank in the goalless FA Cup third round draw at Bolton as the Eagles made it four matches without a win since the former England boss took over.
During that time they have scored just two goals and with Christian Benteke injured, Wilfried Zaha at the African Nations Cup and on-loan Chelsea striker Loic Remy making a delayed 45-minute debut at the Macron after injury, Allardyce knows he needs reinforcements to keep the 17th-placed Eagles in the Premier League.
