Eagles prepare to swoop for Adomah


With Wilfried Zaha leaving in the summer, who will be the England winger’s long-term replacement at Selhurst Park?
According to Sky Sports, Crystal Palace have made an offer for Bristol City’s Albert Adomah. Ian Holloway’s side are pushing for promotion to the Premier League and are looking for that extra bit of quality to help them achieve it. They are believed to have bid £1 million, but the Robins immediately rejected the approach as they feel that their highly-rated player is worth more.
Adomah has played at Ashton Gate since 2010, when he was signed from Barnet for an intial fee of £150,000. The Ghanaian international winger has made over 100 league appearances for the South West club in that time, scoring 15 goals.
Named the club’s player of the year in 2010/11, Adomah has a contract that runs until 2014. Currently competing at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, the player has claimed he is happy at Bristol City and will not be forcing through any move.
That would, therefore, leave the decision down to whether the two Championship sides can agree a deal, but can the Eagles come up with the cash to tempt Bristol City to sell?

AA's under contract for another 18 months so try £5m for a player with a better NPC & International record than Zaha.If Zaha is worth £15m than Albert's worth at least £5m plus add ons.
i dont care if we have to pay 2.5 m or even 3m for him pay it. for me he is the perfect replacement for zarah. hes playing well scoring goals hes played with bolassie he would fit in perfect with the style of play at palace, so for me i couldnt care less who else they buy in the transfer window but buy adomah above every body else and make me a happy man lol
