After completing their first signing of the summer last week, with midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek joining on a season-long loan from Chelsea, Crystal Palace are looking to continue with the incomings at Selhurst Park under the new regime.
Reports today say that the club have agreed a deal to sign Dutch international Bruno Martins Indi, who spent last season on loan at Stoke City, while Ajax defender Jairo Riedewald is also set to join in a £7.5 million switch.
And The Mail, amongst other outlets, say the Eagles are eyeing a move for another Dutchman in the form of Jasper Cillessen, the Barcelona and Netherlands goalkeeper.

According to Sam Mokbel, Palace have opened talks with Barcelona over the signing of the 28-year old, who serves as deputy for No.1 goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

The club have two goalkeepers in their ranks in long-serving player Julian Speroni and Wales international Wayne Hennessey, but recently lost Steve Mandanda to Marseille, and are on the look-out for a top-level goalkeeper for next season.
New Palace boss Frank De Boer knows Cillessen well, having worked with him in his time in charge of Ajax, and sees him as the perfect candidate to fill the goalkeeping berth.
Because of the presence of Ter Stegen, Cillessen has been limited to making a mere 10 first-team appearances for the club. He would surely come in at Palace as the number one choice between the sticks.

The report says another Dutch goalkeeper, PSV's Jeroen Zoet, is an alternative for Palace should they be unsuccessful in their pursuit of Cillessen.
Here's how Twitter reacted to the Cillessen links:
What do you think of Palace potentially signing Cillessen?
