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 16
Crystal Palace look set to complete the £1.7m signing of Spain U20 captain Jose Campaña today.
The youngster has flown into London after the Eagles and Sevilla agreed a fee, and he will be Ian Holloway's fourth summer signing after Stephen Dobbie, Dwight Gayle and Jerome Thomas.
Campana is regarded as a bright prospect in his homeland but has been restricted to a number of games due to injury.
Sevilla revealed they had offered the player a new contract but it was his wish to move to England and Crystal Palace in particular.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail say Peter Odemwingie's exit from West Bromwich Albion is edging nearer after being left out of the club's pre-season tour to Austria, while they are also reporting that Palace are after winger Elliot Grandin.
The Frenchman was signed by Holloway at Blackpool and is now a free agent after his release from the Tangerines, having spent last season on loan at Nice.
And SportsDirect News say Palace and Hull City will battle for the signature of Yannick Sagbo from French club Evian.
Reports in France suggest the club are ready to cash in on a player whose contract expires at the end of next season.
An Ivory Coast international, Sagbo scored six goals in 35 league appearances last season and can play out wide or up front.
