Under-pressure Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer is ready to bid for Jose Fonte to save his job.

De Boer, 47, is yet to win a Premier League game at Palace after three straight losses without scoring.

The Dutchman is already fighting a major battle to save his job after unsuccessfully trying to change Palace's style.

He wants to make several signings ahead of Thursday's deadline in a bid to turn around Palace's season and save his neck after a dire home loss to Swansea.

Palace are now keen to bring Portuguese stopper Fonte, 33, back to the club from West Ham.

Fonte swapped Southampton for West Ham in January in an £8million switch.

But he has made just one league start this term and was an unused sub in Saturday's 3-0 loss at Newcastle.

Fonte had a successful previous spell at Selhurst Park from 2007-2010 before moving to the South Coast.

His potential arrival would be a huge boost for De Boer, who lasted just three months at Inter Milan last season before being axed after 14 games.
