CONFIRMED: Crystal Palace welcomed Maxence Lacroix on a five-year deal from German side Wolfsburg. The rumoured transfer fee is £18 million. (Crystal Palace official announcement)

As Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah is close to joining Crystal Palace, it seems like there is a domino effect. Palace have made Odsonne Edouard available for loan, opening the door for Leicester to bring him in. Watch this space!
