The Croydon Advertiser takes a daily look at who the gossip columns say Palace are in the hunt for and any other rumours from Selhurst Park...July 10
SPECULATION over the weekend linked Spain U20 skipper Jose Campaña with a move to Palace – and according to Spanish sources, the midfielder is set to sign today on a four-year deal.
A £2m figure has been suggested for the Sevilla player, and if the Eagles can tie up a deal, he'll be boss Ian Holloway's fourth summer signing after Stephen Dobbie, Dwight Gayle and Jerome Thomas.
Estadio Deportivo say Campaña has rejected Sevilla's contract renewal offer in favour of a change of scenery.
The playmaker is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Spanish football and starred at the U20 World Cup in Turkey, which Spain lost in the quarter-final against Uruguay after extra-time.
It is believed a fee has been agreed and it's just the small matter of agreeing personal terms and completing a medical.
Meanwhile, rumours linking West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie refuse to go away, with a number of sources saying a move to Palace is getting nearer although Hull City have reportedly expressed an interest too.
Prices ranging from £1.75m-£2m are being quoted for the Nigerian, who is looking for a move away from the Hawthorns.
Indeed, the 31-year-old would bolster Palace's attack and could form an understanding with Dwight Gayle, although some argue a bigger frontman is required to ruffle a few feathers in the Premier League.
And finally, former Palace star Wilfried Zaha has ruled out a loan move back to Selhurst Park.
The winger impressed for Manchester United in their pre-season friendly against Singah All-Stars on Saturday, hitting the post after cutting in from the right and showing some excellent quick feet and passing.
"I've grafted to get here so Manchester United is where I want to stay," he said.
"I have moved away from most of my family and friends now, but it's progress – everyone understands that.
"I wanted to make the move here because it is what is best for my career."
