Crystal Palace Reach Agreement 'in Principle' to Allow Winger Jason Lokilo to Join Lorient

Crystal Palace have agreed a deal 'in principle' to let academy star Jason Lokilo leave the South London club on a season-long loan to Ligue 2 club Lorient.

The news was broken by French football magazine L'Equipe, as well as Sport Witness.

Despite the transfer window in England being shut for a number of weeks now, English clubs are still able to sell players to countries where the window remains open, such as France, where the window doesn't close until the end of August.

Lokilo signed for Crystal Palace last year, but the Congolese winger has made just one appearance for the Eagles, which came in a Carabao Cup match against Ipswich.
