Crystal Palace are expected to do more transfer business than any other Premier League club during the January transfer window as Roy Hodgson looks to strengthen his side.

The Eagles boss has often spoke about increasing the depth of his squad and now Sun Bets have them set to have more incomings than the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea.

Palace have been priced at 6/4 to make the most signings ahead of Southampton - who are cash rich from the departure of £75m Virgil van Dijk - and strugglers West Brom.

Both clubs are placed at 10/3 to make the most permanent signings this month.

Chelsea are expected to complete the most business out of Champions League challenging clubs at 5/1 while Newcastle United lie down at 25/1 - the longest odds Sun Bets provided - amidst their ongoing takeover negotiations.

Earlier this week Hodgson noted that Palace's injuries could suggest that the club should be in the market for six or seven players but that they would not make that many moves.

The ex-England manager said: "We have been waiting for the January transfer window to fulfil our wishes and our thoughts in terms of strengthening our squad.

"That's become even more vitally important with the number of injuries we suffered.

"You could argue that if we said we wanted three or four then really we should be looking at six or seven, because we have lost at least two players for the rest of this season, and probably the start of next season [in Scott Dann and Jason Puncheon].

"We still have two or three others who are a month away at least from being able to play.

"So, I don't think we are going to get that, but what I am saying logically is you could argue that."
