Clinton Morrison

Newspaper reports suggest that Clinton Morrison could be heading to Charlton in a £5 million deal.

Morrison, currently with the Republic of Ireland squad at the World Cup, has made it clear he wishes to play in the Premiership and also stay in London.

His future will not be settled until after the World Cup finals have ended.

An Irish source told the Evening Standard: "Clinton has always said he wanted to play in the Premiership, preferably with Palace, but this bid will be too good to turn down for the club and the player.

"It means Clinton can continue to live in London and realise his dream to play at the top level. It also represents good value for Palace."
