Fraizer Campbell Crystal Palace TEAMtalk

Alan Pardew insists there has been no approach from Hull for Fraizer Campbell and says the striker is ‘very important’ to Crystal Palace.

There had been reports that the Eagles forward was close to joining Steve Bruce’s side on loan but, having already lost Glenn Murray, Pardew says Campbell remains crucial to his plans at Selhurst Park.

The Palace boss said: “We have not had contact from Hull over Fraizer,” he said.

“It was probably media-generated transfer news, but I think he’s very important for us.

“We have already lost Glenn Murray to Bournemouth.

“Fraizer has a good attitude and I like him, he’s done well for me whenever I’ve played him.”
