CRYSTAL Palace midfielder David Wright could be on the verge of returning to League Two side Gillingham on loan.
The utility man spent a successful loan spell at the Priestfield Stadium under boss Martin Allen earlier this season.
And as part of the deal, the Eagles are set to welcome in a youngster from the Gills, who Advertiser Sport believes could be 21-year-old midfielder Jack Payne.
Palace boss Ian Holloway spoke to Advertiser Sport exclusively for his weekly newspaper column and revealed he is thinking about a deal for Wright before the end of this week, although he would not reveal the player arriving at Selhurst Park.
"I might be swapping David Wright and bringing in a young midfielder on loan from Gillingham in his place," he said.
"We will reveal who that is in the next couple of days – I don't want to say anything just yet."
