Crystal Palace have agreed a “substantial” transfer fee with Dundee United to sign their talented youngster Scott Banks.
Sources close to the English Premier League club have confirmed that they have thrashed out a six-figure fee to land the Scotland under-19 international.
Palace signed the winger on a pre-contract earlier this month and could have signed him for £200,000 in training compensation in the summer.
Record Sport understands that the deal is far in excess of that and is worth significantly more in future add-ons.
Palace failed with a bid in the summer as did their Premier League rivals Southampton .
Banks is set to travel to London for a medical to finalise his move next week.
The 18-year-old had knocked back a new deal and had been frozen out at Tannadice in recent months.
The winger had a successful loan at Clyde last season and has only played a handful of first-team games under Robbie Neilson this season.
