Crystal Palace hope to confirm the loan signing of Mainz striker Jean-Philippe Mateta after he arrived in London ahead of a medical on Wednesday.
As Sportsmail reported, the move will be an 18-month loan for a £2.7million fee with an obligation to buy for £13.4m when Mateta, 23, has started 15 Premier League games.
Mateta's arrival at Palace could also pave the way for Christian Benteke's departure this month.
Palace have held a long-standing interest in Mateta as they hope his arrival will put an end to that lack of goals.
