Following their successful start to an extensive rebuilding job, Crystal Palace aren't expected to spend big money in the upcoming January transfer window.

What's the story?

That's according to Sky Sports journalist Michel Bridge, who believes the Eagles' chairman Steve Parish will be satisfied with the work he conducted over the summer.

The likes of Odsonne Edouard, Marc Guehi and Conor Gallagher have made huge impressions at Selhurst Park in the opening weeks of the current campaign, and Bridge is adamant that Patrick Vieira's winter budget will be restricted as a result.

He told GIVEMESPORT: "Knowing Steve Parish like I do, I don't think he will go all out in January when things have gone well.

"It's usually when they're a bit worried and looking behind them that they would spend, but I don't think they're looking behind at the moment. They're looking at what's in front of them in a positive sense."

Crystal Palace fans will be gutted

Despite the extremely positive start made by Vieira's charges, a large section of the capital club's supporters will be gutted that further acquisitions won't be made over the coming months.

The south London outfit are currently on a six-game unbeaten run and have masterminded famous victories over Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City to provide a new wave of hope and optimism following four years of pragmatism under Roy Hodgson.

However, with the likes of Joel Ward, James McArthur, Jordan Ayew, Christian Benteke and Cheikhou Kouyate all in their 30s and approaching the twilight zone of their careers, the squad overhaul is far from complete.

Further investment will be needed by Parish in due course, but that appears unlikely to come in the January window, with Palace fans being forced to wait until the summer to see any more fresh faces.
