CRYSTAL PALACE are preparing for a busy summer with three new additions on Alan Pardew's wishlist.
SIGNINGS: Alan Pardew is looking to add goals to his squad
It's no secret that Palace struggled for goals last season.
The Eagles finished their campaign as the third lowest scorers in the Premier League with 39 - eight less than the previous year.
But manager Pardew is looking to rectify the issue by adding significant firepower to his ranks.
Forwards Dwight Gayle, Connor Wickham, Emmanuel Adebayor and Fraizer Campbell managed just nine league goals between them while centre-back Scott Dann ended the season as joint top scorer with five.
A Crystal Palace source told Starsport that the former Newcastle boss is interested in bringing Christian Benteke, Saido Berahino and Andros Townsend to Selhurst Park.
Benteke, 25, endured a fairly inauspicious debut season after his £32.5m arrival from Aston Villa and has threatened to leave if Jurgen Klopp doesn't include him.
Berahino, 22, is also on Pardew's radar and could represent the more likely option given he's entered the final 12 months of his contract with West Brom.
Meanwhile Townsend, who was relegated with Newcastle, has a £10.5m release clause in his contract that would allow Palace to bypass Rafa Benitez altogether.
