Crystal Palace want Chelsea teenager Reece James to replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka, so much so that they are prepared to wait as long as it takes to get a deal over the line.
Palace lost Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United last month, and a number of potential replacements have since been touted, with James looking like perhaps the outstanding candidate after a remarkably impressive season on loan at Wigan in the Championship.
The 19-year-old featured in all but one of the Latics' matches as they comfortably side-stepped relegation, but according to the Sun, his long-term future is being held up as Chelsea await a verdict from FIFA on their forthcoming transfer ban.
