Cardiff City striker Fraizer Campbell is to have a medical at Crystal Palace later on Wednesday, according to Sky sources.

Campbell had held transfer talks with Leicester City but the move fell through and the 26-year-old now appears to be on the verge of joining Tony Pulis in south London.

Reports claimed the former Manchester United striker had a £600,000 release clause in his contract which Palace and Leicester have both triggered.

Campbell could not prevent Cardiff from suffering relegation in 2013/14, despite scoring nine goals, but he is now set for a swift return to the Premier League.

Campbell's Cardiff team-mate Steven Caulker has already left the club after joining Queens Park Rangers for £8.5million and City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already resigned himself to losing his star players following relegation.
