Frank de Boer says Crystal Palace need to make more signings

Frank de Boer says Crystal Palace hope to secure some new additions, as he revealed the club are keen to sign a striker and a goalkeeper before the close of the transfer window.

The Eagles are searching for their first Premier League point of the 2017/18 campaign, having lost their opening two games against Huddersfield and Liverpool.

The club had been interested in signing RB Leipzig's Oliver Burke, however, the winger agreed a deal on Friday to join West Brom on a five-year contract.

Palace have also been linked with Tottenham goalkeeper Michel Vorm and, addressing positions he wants to add to, De Boer said: "I think we still need some players. If some players get injured it will get a little bit narrow.

"For example, a striker behind Christian (Benteke), we don't really have a really competitive striker behind Christian.

"We are looking for that.

"You want to get prepared as best you can."

The former Ajax boss admitted he plans to bring a new goalkeeper to Selhurst Park, but said the search for a shot-stopper is expansive.

"I can say so many names," he said.

"We, of course, have all the list of goalkeepers that maybe can be suitable for us."

De Boer feels a win against Swansea on Saturday is crucial for his men, as he praised the Swans for their style of play.

"It's a must-win game, also for Swansea I think it is," he said.

"We want the same. I think the team that shows the most hunger is going to win.

"I think Swansea is always a team I love to watch normally because they play a lot of organised football.

"I think they are a very good squad and we respect them very much.

"Every game we start with a lot of confidence and a lot of respect for our opponents. We know the weaknesses but we also know the strengths of our opponents."
