Crystal Palace have beaten Tottenham to the signing of highly rated Derby winger Malcolm Ebiowei.
The Selhurst Park club are now turning their attentions to clinching a deal for Lens midfielder Cheick Doucoure.
Ebiowei, 18, is widely regarded as one of English football’s leading young talents and has been the subject of major interest from England and abroad this summer.
But the Eagles have completed a significant coup by securing a deal to sign the teenager, who will finalise his move to Selhurst Park today.
