Freedman: Murray deal talk is not true

PALACE boss Dougie Freedman has dismissed reports that he is closing in on the signature of Glenn Murray.
There was a claim earlier today that the 21-goal Brighton striker, who is due to be a free agent in the summer, is on the verge of making a switch to the Seagulls’ arch rivals.
But Freedman, talking to the South London Press, was quick to knock the story down.
He said: “It’s not true and in my experience of the game it is probably the agent trying to work Brighton for more money - and he’s just picked local rivals to wind them up.
“I know a lot of clubs are in for the kid - so why pick Crystal Palace?
“He’s on a free transfer and I expect Glenn Murray to be too expensive for us.”
