They delved into the transfer market over the summer to bring in four new faces to bolster their ranks.

There was also plenty of permanent outgoings from Selhurst Park. Here is where they have all ended up...

Christian Benteke, DC United

The striker decided to leave Crystal Palace for a new chapter of his career in the MLS at DC United under Wayne Rooney.

He missed a penalty on his full debut against Colorado Rapids.

He parted company with Patrick Viera’s side when his contract expired at the end of the past campaign.

The midfielder then weighed up his options before deciding to put pen-to-paper on a deal with fellow top flight club Nottingham Forest, becoming one of 22 players to join the Reds after their promotion from the Championship.

Martin Kelly, West Brom

Kelly, 32, spent eight years on the books at Palace and made 148 appearances in all competitions before leaving in late June.

He has recently been snapped up by West Brom but is yet to make his debut for Steve Bruce’s side in the second tier.

Jaroslaw Jach, KGHM Zagłębie Lubin

The 23-year-old has made the move to Brazil to join Botafoga on a contract until 2024.

He joined Palace in May last year having previously played for Portland Timbers and the Treasure Coast Tritons.
