Crystal Palace have reached a deal in principle worth up to 26m with Villarreal to sign 22-year-old Spain winger Yeremy Pino. Pino is open to a move to Selhurst Park and is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days. Pino has a 69m release clause, but Villarreal accepted Palace's offer with under two years remaining on his contract. Palace pursued Pino after selling Eberechi Eze to Arsenal for 60m. Palace have signed goalkeeper Walter Benitez and defender Borna Sosa so far and are also targeting Manchester City's Manuel Akanji. Pino scored four league goals last season and has three goals in 15 Spain caps.
Crystal Palace have agreed a deal in principle worth up to 26m with Villarreal for Spain winger Yeremy Pino. The 22-year-old is believed to be open to a move to Selhurst Park and is expected to complete a medical in the coming days. Pino has a 69m release clause, but with there being less than two years left to run on his contract, Villarreal have decided to accept Palace's offer.
Eze, 27, was Palace's talisman last season, scoring 14 goals and recording 11 assists in 43 games as the club won the FA Cup - the first major trophy in their history. After Palace's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at the weekend, manager Oliver Glasner said he was "very confident" the club would make new signings before deadline day on Monday following a quiet transfer window.
