Ollie takes a look at who Crystal Palace could be signing in the January transfer window

00:00Crystal Palace need another attacker in January.

00:03Fifth in the league, quarter-finals of the League Cup and European knockouts on the horizon,

00:07Palace have an opportunity to deliver a second successive historic season

00:11and potentially persuade their best ever manager to stay.

00:14A lot of that hinges on adding one more first-team quality piece to this side.

00:19But who?

00:20Palace need someone who is ready now.

00:22An on-brand pick?

00:24Raheem Sterling.

00:25Now hear me out.

00:26Palace love a Chelsea loan.

00:28Sterling wants out and fits the profile Palace are after.

00:31He can play either side.

00:32He's good on the shoulder of the last defender and his attacking positioning is strong.

00:36Chelsea need to get rid.

00:37Palace need someone to take some minutes off Sarr's shoulders.

00:40I see it.

00:41Brennan Johnson is a name that's been thrown around.

00:42And again, don't laugh at this suggestion.

00:44Johnson and Sarr are very similar players.

00:47Good runners in behind, excellent finishers and top-notch positioning.

00:50Johnson would be a seamless tactical fit and, aged just 24,

00:53could represent good value if Spurs are willing to sell for around the £30m mark.

00:58This is a man who got 25 goal contributions to Spurs last season.

01:02And whilst he has holes in his game, Glasner's system would perfectly cover them.

01:07But my pick, a name that's been floating around this week, is Oscar Bob.

01:11And what a signing that would be.

01:13More a Lise than Sarr, Bob would solve arguably Palace's biggest problem right now,

01:18which is breaking down low blocks.

01:20He's young, he's hungry, he's immensely talented, and Man City are reportedly open to bids.

01:26It would be ambitious, but now is the time for Palace to be exactly that.

01:31January is a big month for the Eagles, both on and off the pitch.

01:35Let's see how they fare.
