Gabor Kiraly

Gabor Kiraly has told Palace boss Iain Dowie he wants to quit the club.

Kiraly, 30, is determined to secure a move after Palace’s play-off defeat against Watford left him facing another season in the Championship.

The Hungary goalkeeper has attracted interest from several top-flight clubs including Arsenal and Kiraly’s agent said: “Gabor wants to leave and I have informed every Premiership club of his availability.

“He wants to stay in England but of course we will listen to any clubs in Europe. We couldn’t rule that out.

“I have talked to Palace and they understands Gabor’s situation. There should be no big problem with transfer fees.

“Palace recognise that Gabor was loyal to the club this season by agreeing to drop down to the Championship.”
