Borussia Dortmund v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Semi Final: First Leg

Premier League newcomers Crystal Palace have agreed a fee to sign Peterborough United striker Dwight Gayle. The 22-year-old spent the 2011-12 season on loan at non-league Bishop’s Stortford.

Crystal Palace v Peterborough United - npower Championship

Full story: talkSPORT

What’s the story? Gayle came from non-league straight to the Championship last season with great success. He’s quick and tough, a real trier. Holloway has had success with a similar player before. DJ Campbell scored 10+ goals for him at Blackpool after a similar ascent.

Does it make sense? I guess so, but it’ll be a real concern for Palace fans as to whether they have enough capacity to get goals in the Premier League. He’s very raw. More like a signing for a good Championship team really.

Is the price right? £3m seems about right.

Will it happen? 8/10 – It’s a Holloway type signing.
