Crystal Palace set to complete £19.5m Eberechi Eze transfer today

Crystal Palace are finalising a deal to bring QPR star Eberechi Eze to south London for a fee of £19.5million.

Eze, who was also a target for West Ham and promoted side West Brom, is set to undergo his medical with the Eagles this morning before finalising the move, signing a four-year-deal with an option for a fifth.

The forward started every single one of QPR's 46 Championship games last season, scoring 14 goals.

He follows Nathan Ferguson, 19, through the door at Selhurst Park, with Roy Hodgson desperate to add youth and creativity to an ageing squad.

Hodgson has long called for more than a budget to improve his squad and - with an initial fee of £14.5million rising to almost £20million - Eze will become Palace's most expensive signing since the former England manager took charge in 2017.
