Crystal Palace have so far failed to find the target in their opening three Premier League games, losing to Huddersfield, Liverpool and Swansea.


Newcastle are willing to let striker Dwight Gayle leave the club if they can find a suitable replacement. 

The North East club have received a £15million offer from Fulham for the forward but are waiting to see if they have an option to bring in.
