Crystal Palace are set to win the race to sign Eberechi Eze from Queens Park Rangers after making a bid worth £19.5m for the forward.

Eze has been targeted by Aston Villa, Fulham, Leeds, West Ham and West Bromwich Albion this summer but Palace have tracked him heavily over the last 12 months and are hopeful of concluding a deal before the end of the week. It is understood that negotiations with the 22-year-old over personal terms will not be an issue.
