Crystal Palace transfer news has already begun with the Eagles considering signing Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Lens midfielder Cheick Doucoure.
Alex Howell of the BBC has reported that the Eagles are keen on signing both players, although Wan-Bissaka is likely to only return to Selhurst Park on loan.

Good First Season for Vieira
After a successful first season in charge of Palace, Patrick Vieira is keen to improve on his squad this summer.
The former Arsenal captain already brought in an array of youth last summer that helped the club reach the FA Cup semi-final this season.
Doucoure has been a mainstay at Lens since making his debut for the club in 2018 when he was just 18-years-old.
Since then, the midfielder has played 128 times for the French side, scoring eight goals and assisting seven.
The Malian international fits the criteria for Palace as he is just 22-years-old. Bringing energy and physicality to the midfield, he may be seen as a replacement for Conor Gallagher, who is set to return to Chelsea at the end of the season.
Potential Palace Return for Wan-Bissaka
Palace are also interested in bringing back former player Wan-Bissaka back to the club. The right-back left the club to join Manchester United in 2019 but has struggled to impress the Old Trafford faithful.
After United’s 4-0 loss to Liverpool, manager Ralf Rangnick said that the Red Devils need a major rebuild.
Wan-Bissaka is certainly one of those players that could be axed after several below-par performances and incoming head coach Erik ten Hag will be looking through his inconsistent squad and deciding who he will allow to leave.
However, for Palace, he could be a wise addition ahead of next season for Vieira.
