EVERTON striker James Vaughan is set to join Championship outfit Crystal Palace on a three-month loan spell. Sheffield United, Derby and Blackpool have also been linked with the 22-year-old but it appears Palace have won the race for his services. Palace boss George Burley said: “We think James is a very good player and we are hoping to finalise the move today or tomorrow. “It’s no secret we have been looking for a striker and I think James could be the answer. “He will be the final player we bring in, after this deal we will work with what we’ve got.” Vaughan could make his debut for Palace against Reading this weekend.
