Discussion: Gayle to extend contract

mardi 29 septembre 2015

Just seen that we are in negotiations to extend his contract. Two years left. Personally think it is a good thing as it helps his resale value and hopefully he may bang them in for us. Looking forward to the haters saying 'no!!!!'


Crystal Palace have opened talks with striker Dwight Gayle over a new contract at Selhurst Park, according to the Guardian.

Gayle nearly left Premier League Palace twice during the summer transfer window, with Championship side Bristol City having a £9million bid accepted and Norwich making an offer on deadline day. Gayle refused to drop down a division to join newly-promoted City, while Palace rebuffed Norwich’s offer as it was too late to secure a replacement.

Signed for a then club-record fee of £3.5million from Peterborough in 2013, the 25-year-old has struggled for regular game time under Alan Pardew, with Connor Wickham preferred in a central striking role.

However, Gayle was handed a chance to impress from the start against Watford at the weekend after scoring a Capital One Cup hat-trick against Charlton in midweek.

The Guardian report that although Gayle still has two years remaining on his current contract, Palace are keen to extend his deal by a further two years after securing fresh terms with Yannick Bolasie, Scott Dann and James McArthur.
