Crystal Palace set to sign 28-year-old goalkeeper ahead of competition…

AFC Wimbledon have agreed a loan deal with Crystal Palace goalkeeper Owen Goodman, according to a report by London News Online.

AFC Wimbledon are poised to land the stopper on a temporary basis ahead of the new season. They are gearing up for another year in League Two under former Charlton Athletic boss Johnnie Jackson after they finished 10th.

Goodman, 20, spent last term with fellow fourth tier outfit Colchester United and got plenty of experience under his belt with the Essex outfit. He made 40 appearances for the U’s in all competitions, 38 of which came in the league, as they managed to secure their Football League status.

In this latest update regarding his future by London News Online, the Dons have struck an agreement with the Eagles and are set to bring him in now. He will compete for the number one spot at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

AFC Wimbledon have got a couple of vacancies to fill in goal following Nik Tzanev’s release and Alex Bass’ return to Sunderland.

Goodman has been on the books at Crystal Palace for his whole career to date and has risen up through the academy ranks at Selhurst Park.
