Palace close in on Kolkka
Crystal Palace are on the brink of signing Finland international Joonas Kolkka from Borussia Moenchengladbach.
The Selhurst Park club hope to make the winger their fourth transfer in a week by handing him a three-year contract if he passes a medical.
And Eagles boss Iain Dowie sees Kolkka as an ideal replacement for Julian Gray, who joined Birmingham in June.
"His adviser enquired whether we would free him from his current contract.
"We agreed, under the condition that the basic financial conditions are correct. Then the offer from Crystal Palace came in and we took it."
Kolkka could link up with fellow Finn Aki Riihilahti, who is set to sign a new two-year contract in the next few days.
