Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has opened the door to signing a new striker in January.

Hodgson was asked about his market plans after victory over Wolves.

He said, “We've got a man coming back we hope. Benteke trains with us tomorrow and obviously he'll be fully back with us in the course of the next week. If he gets match fit then that will be to an extent a new signing this year because we've hardly seen him.

“If there are other players that the club can bring in, I certainly won't be averse to that because we have a very small squad and we haven't had a lot to back us up at the minute. We're on the lookout of course and the chairman and technical director are anxious to do what they can to give me and my coaching staff more support, but it's not easy certainly when you have limited transfer resources."
