Maxime Gonalons would be a great option for Palace against Fulham, particularly as they will need control in the middle of the park, coming up against a player the quality of Tom Cairney.
Crystal Palace have made an £8.9m offer for the AS Roma player in this window, but whether the South London club will get the deal over the line is unknown. The 29-year-old would bring some real defensive intelligence to the Palace midfield, with the talents of players like Schurrle and Ryan Sessegnon in the Whites team, this will be of a great advantage to the Eagles.
Hodgson needs to ensure he gets this star through the door before Palace are lining up at Craven Cottage.
