Lambert Could Get Premier League Lifeline

Rickie Lambert could be heading back to the Premier League according to media reports, Arron Sanders takes a look at the news.

According to a report today from the Independent, new Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is considering an approach for the former Saints hero Rickie Lambert following news of an injury to his first choice striker Christian Benteke.

Having worked with the veteran 35 year old during his time as England manager, Hodgson is eager to bring in some cover in his attacking area of the Eagles squad and with his options limited due to the transfer window being closed Lambert has emerged as his best option available.

The Liverpudlian has not had the best of fortunes since leaving St Mary's with spells at boy hood club Liverpool, West Brom and Cardiff not going to plan for the 35 year old former Southampton and Bristol Rovers goal machine.

Hopefully Lambert and Palace can get a deal done and he can have one last run in the big time, and he gets back amongst the goals (just not against Saints please Rickie).

The report states that Palace are confident of tying up a deal within the next couple of weeks and I for one hope it all works out for the big man.
