Crystal Palace No2 Keith Millen admits they're shopping for a new goalscorer.
Millen says the club is actively looking to bring in another striker, adding that it is an area that they have identified.
"We are short of options up front and we are certainly working hard," Millen told the Croydon Advertiser.
"The manager and the chairman are constantly talking, but not a lot of business is being down at the moment.
"Hopefully we will get something done and not too late [in the transfer window], but sometimes it takes one deal to kickstart another.
"We are certainly in the market and hopefully we will get one [striker] soon."
