Neil warnock is aiming to bring in several players to Selhurst Park this summer but Derby's Claude Davis may not be one of them.
Davis spent time on loan with palace last season but Warnock is unsure as to whether he will come on a permanent deal.
Warnock said: "We haven't had any discussions with Derby about Claude.
"I've spoken to the player and his agent and they're aware of our position, but that's the extent of it.
"I'm not too concerned about sorting out Claude's future at the moment because my main focus is on getting forwards in.
"I've set a target of signing three players - or at least having deals agreed for them - before the start of pre-season training on July 1, and I'd love them all to be strikers."
