Crystal Palace chiefs to overhaul squad; Gallagher, Maitland-Niles on agenda

Crystal Palace chiefs are set to overhaul their squad this summer.

Palace chiefs are on record admitting they wish to drive down the average age of their squad.

The Daily Mail says Palace will experience a turnover in their squad this summer with a dozen players out of contract. Mamadou Sakho and James McCarthy are expected to leave with Michy Batshuayi returning to Chelsea after his loan spell.

Talks will take place with others including Patrick van Aanholt but there should be enough space for five new signings.

Conor Gallagher and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, on loan at West Brom from Chelsea and Arsenal respectively, are among potential targets.
