Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill has given Dwight Gayle an ultimatum as the striker’s protracted exit from Crystal Palace continues.
The 24-year-old has been connected with a move to the Championship club for fees ranging from £6m to £8m.
However, Gayle is reported by talkSPORT to have rejected the move, leading Cotterill to give his target until the end of the week to decide where his future lays.
Cotterill said: “We won't stay on it forever. It's getting to a crunch time this week with that one.
“We are not any further down the line with anything, there's been a couple of conversations that have been had, not face to face. We have a timescale with it.”
He added: "He [Gayle] wants to think about it. That can only go for so long."
