Gayle confident of handling Premier League pressure

New Crystal Palace signing Dwight Gayle is confident that he will be able to handle the pressure of playing in the Premier League.

The 22-year-old joined Ian Holloway's side for a fee in the region of £4.5m from Peterborough United after just six months at London Road.

"I'm going to handle it because I think the people around me will keep my feet on the ground," he told Sky Sports News.

"It's difficult to deal with all the attention I've been getting but I should be fine."

Gayle scored 13 goals in the Championship last season for The Posh.
