CRYSTAL Palace have reportedly landed Poland centre-back Jaroslaw Jach after Arsenal’s 4-1 win highlighted the Eagles’ injury crisis in defence.
Scott Dann is sidelined for the season and Mamadou Sakho facing another month out, while Joel Ward is also crocked.
And boss Roy Hodgson saw the Eagles yeild four goals inside the first 22 minutes as their fine run ended with a 4-1 loss at a Gunners side without Alexis Sanchez.
Zaglebie Lubin star Jach, 23, who has two caps, is arriving from Poland for 3million euros (£2.64m), according to 101greatgoals.
Hodgson had faith in Palace’s players, even before he replaced Frank de Boer and lifted them from bottom to their current 13th place.
But the former England boss knows injuries might stretch them as they bid to stay out of Premier League trouble.
Hodgson could even get cash from an unexpected source as Chelsea are reportedly considering an offer for ex-Liverpool frontman Christian Benteke.
The former Aston Villa forward has netted only one Prem goal this season but the Blues are anxiously seeking back-up for Alvaro Morata.

Burly frontmen Edin Dzeko, Andy Carroll and Peter Crouch have all been mentioned.
But Benteke, 27, would probably be the easiest to lure – partly as Palace might be keen to offload such a high earner.
