The journo Tweeted the above just an hour ago, after a few days of whispers about a potential move for the striker back to the club where he managed to score a few two seasons ago.
The interesting detail in this case is the fact that there will be an option to buy in the deal. If he does well, it’s easy to see Palace triggering such a clause, depending of course on how reasonable the price tag is.
He’s never looked like making it at Chelsea, but it’s also not hard to imagine him scoring 10-15 Premier League goals this season in a Palace team that may play to his strengths, and suddenly looking like a viable Premier League player again.
