Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson hopes to see new signings arrive in the coming fortnight.

Hodgson confirmed Palace are studying the market for opportunities.

He said, "I can't give any update on the position with regard to any player at the moment, but I do know that [Sporting Director] Doug Freedman and [Chairman] Steve Parish are working hard to try and bring a couple of players, at least, into the club, so I'm happy with the efforts that they're making, but I'm afraid I can't give you any updates on anything.

"Of course, as I said on the last time I was here, and asked questions about transfers, I was given a good three or four names, all of which I thought were very good players, and all of which, of course, would be very welcome at the club.

"But until such time as there is something concrete to say, I'm better off saying nothing."
