IRELAND INTERNATIONAL ROBBIE Brady looks set to complete a move to Crystal Palace in the coming days after an initial €10.5 million fee was agreed with Norwich City.
The 24-year-old Dubliner is the subject of interest from several clubs but The Guardian are this afternoon reporting that Sam Allardyce and Palace have won the race for his signature.
Brady’s current contract at Norwich expires in June 2018 with the club downplaying reports that he will leave this January after Burnley’s approaches were rebuffed.
It’s believed that the fee agreed with Palace for Brady could potentially rise to €14 million with appearance and achievement related add-ons.
Brady, who can operate at either left-back or in midfield, has featured 22 times in the Championship this season for the Canaries.
Palace are currently languishing in 18th in the top-flight after a miserable first half to the season which cost Alan Pardew his job.
Since Allardyce took over as manager two days before Christmas, the Eagles have picked up just one point.
The London club have already spent €14 million on winger Jeffrey Schlupp from Leicester while a move for Sunderland’s Patrick van Aanholt appears to have fallen through.
