New Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer has revealed that he wants to establish the Eagles as "a solid Premier League team" after taking control of the London outfit on a three-year contract.
De Boer was officially announced as Sam Allardyce's replacement at Palace on Monday afternoon.
The former Netherlands international is expected to be backed in the transfer market ahead of the 2017-18 campaign, and the 47-year-old has revealed his excitement at landing his first job in the Premier League.
"The aim is to be a solid Premier League team, not to struggle with relegation. That is our main target - if we do more, that's nice," De Boer told reporters.
"This club can grow further and further. They spend a lot of money and there is the possibility to do something well with that money. I've not met the players yet. We will look at one or two signings, but I think it is necessary to see all the players here first."
De Boer has previously managed Ajax and Inter Milan, although his spell at San Siro lasted just three months.
