CRYSTAL Palace first team coach Ben Garner has challenged Jose Campana to prove he can fit in with Palace's style of play next season.
The Spanish midfielder struggled to adapt to English football last year following his move from Sevilla and ended up going out on loan in January to the German Bundesliga with Nurnberg.
Campana has been linked with move to Serie A this summer, with Sampdoria believed to be interested.
"It has been difficult for him - it's been a complete change of culture and style of play," Garner told the Advertiser.
"He had come back from a serious injury breaking his foot then he came to us. He has been out to Germany on loan with Nurnberg, who unfortunately went down in the end last season but Jose is a talented player.
"Whether he will adapt to the English game and whether he will mature as a person to cope with that remains to be seen.
"It's one of those situations where the ball is in Jose's court a little bit, whether he wants to fit in with the style of play and how the game is played in England, or to seek a move elsewhere."
