New Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer will take an in depth look at his squad before deciding where to further strengthen.

"If you want to buy other players, first you have to look in your own kitchen and we have some talented players," De Boer said on the official Crystal Palace website.

"People [at Palace] are very nice, very helpful and really want to make something good out of it.

"Also the players, they are giving 100 per cent in every training [session], it is good to work, so I have nothing to complain about right now.

"It is more about getting the [fitness] load into their body, then next week we will go to more shorter games and the intensity getting higher and higher.

"That is our build-up and in between we are hopefully going to modify our system better and better."
