Crystal Palace 'Close' to Signing Brazilian Goalkeeper Lucas Perri on Initial Loan Deal

Crystal Palace are reportedly 'close' to agreeing terms with Sao Paulo over an initial loan deal for Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri.

The Eagles are currently in the market for a gloveman following injuries to both their first-team goalkeepers in Wayne Hennessey and Vicente Guaita, although it appears a swift replacement in Perri is poised to be drafted in.

According to Sky Sports, the 21-year-old is set to join on an initial six-month loan deal with the Eagles having the option to make the transfer permanent in the summer for a fee around the £3m mark.
