Crystal Palace is looking to strengthen their defense before the winter transfer window closes. Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge shared this news, mentioning the club's interest in potential late signings for defensive positions. The Eagles are planning to add to their squad, especially after the recall of Trevoh Chalobah by Chelsea. Palace is also keeping an eye on the left-back market, with Tyrick Mitchell reportedly attracting interest from other clubs.

Bridge mentioned that Palace likes to make late deals and that manager Oliver Glasner is ambitious. He hinted that there could be movement for a new center-back, even though they already have Lacroix doing well. Palace aims to bolster their three-back system with additional reinforcements.

The team's performance has improved significantly, with just one loss in their last 11 games. They sit 12th in the Premier League, thanks in part to the offensive prowess of Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has scored four goals in his last three matches.

Romain Esse, Palace's first signing of the January window, is expected to make his Premier League debut this weekend against Brentford. The young winger, signed for £14. 5m, is ready after participating in training sessions.

Palace lost some ground due to Chalobah's return to Chelsea, so they are now on the lookout for defensive options. This strategic planning shows their commitment to maintaining their strong run in the league.
