Crystal Palace have reportedly accepted a £6m bid from Bristol City for striker Dwight Gayle.

The 25-year-old has fallen down the Eagles pecking order since the arrival of Alan Pardew last season.

Pardew has recruited strikers Patrick Bamford on loan from Middlesbrough and Connor Wickham from Sunderland, effectively ending Gayle's involvement in plans for the season - although he did have a place on the bench in Saturday's win at Norwich City.

The boss has made no secret that he was open to the right offers, and had Championship clubs including Fulham sniffing around the striker.

Gayle was signed by Ian Holloway from Peterborough in 2013 as the club's most expensive signing at £9.5m.

The former Bishop's Stortford man was thrown in at the deep end in Palace's return season in the Premier League, making 25 appearances and scoring eight goals.

He would go on to make 48 appearances for the Eagles, scoring 12 goals.
