Crystal Palace boss Pardew to spend big on attacking signings

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is ready to spend big to boost their attacking options.

The Daily Star says Pardew is interested in bringing Christian Benteke, Saido Berahino and Andros Townsend to Selhurst Park.

Benteke, 25, endured a fairly inauspicious debut season after his £32.5m arrival from Aston Villa and has threatened to leave if Jurgen Klopp doesn't include him.

Berahino, 22, is also on Pardew's radar and could represent the more likely option given he's entered the final 12 months of his contract with West Brom.

Meanwhile Townsend, who was relegated with Newcastle, has a £10.5m release clause in his contract that would allow Palace to bypass Rafa Benitez altogether.
