​De Boer eyes Roma's Skopurski to solve Crystal Palace goalkeeper woes

Crystal Palace manager Frank de Boer is desperate to sign a goalkeeper after his side copped three goals at home on opening day.

In de Boer's Premier League debut, the Eagles were embarrassed 3-0 by newly-promoted Huddersfield Town.

There are currently only two goalkeepers in the squad, Wayne Hennessey and Julian Speroni, and according to the Daily Mail, the Dutchman wants to add Roma's Lukasz Skorupski to that list.

The Polish shot-stopper has spent the past two seasons on loan at Emploi, and is believed to be available, despite appearing in Roma's latest friendly against Celta Vigo.

De Boer is reportedly weighing up a loan deal, with an option to buy at around £6m also on the table.
