Alan Pardew is hoping to attract a "big player" to Crystal Palace and admits former Arsenal forwards Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner fit the bill.
The Palace manager has previously spoken of his desire to bolster his attacking options with a new forward following the termination of Patrick Bamford's loan spell.
Although he conceded Adebayor and Bendtner are targets, Pardew said the club are not in talks with Swansea over a swap deal between Bafetimbi Gomis and Dwight Gayle.
Pardew said: "Abebayor and a couple of others that have been mentioned. A couple more have come to light, Nicklas Bendtner is available and is somebody else that we are looking at.
"We're after somebody who would fit into our group and give us a lift. It'd be nice to see a big player come in, so we'll see."
When asked about a potential swap between Gomis and Gayle, Pardew added: "There's been no contact from either club [with regard to Gomis].
"We can give ourselves a lift so it makes sense for our fans, our players. We can improve from within, but having said that, we are trying to improve the situation."
He added: "Most of the noises on the market are probably being generated by agents and the media. It's part of the game, I quite enjoy it.
"We have to be realistic. Some of the figures being banded about for good players, not great players, are massive. We mustn't get out-priced. It's difficult for us."
Despite attempting to add to his forward line, Pardew insists he is not concerned by the recent goal drought which has hampered his team in the Premier League.
Palace have not scored in the league since beating Stoke 2-1 on December 19, a run of five Premier League games that includes three successive defeats but Pardew is confident his side will soon rediscover their scoring form.
Pardew said: "We played in the FA Cup and scored a couple, so it isn't a completely barren run. We need to lean on that and get back to scoring.
"We're having one of those seasons where it's been terrific, but we're having a bit of a lull. Ourselves, Watford, Leicester, we've all struggled in January. The bigger clubs have bigger squads, so have the advantage.
"They have numbers, they have experience and can deal with the number of games."
