Robbie Brady set to join Crystal Palace

Robbie Brady looks set for a return to the Premier League after Crystal Palace agreed an initial £9m (€10.5m) fee with Norwich City for the Ireland star.

The 24-year-old Dubliner is the subject of interest from several clubs, but reports yesterday suggested Sam Allardyce has won the race for his signature. Brady’s contract at Norwich expires in June 2018 and the Canaries have dismissed reports he will leave this month after Burnley’s advances were rebuffed.

It’s believed that the fee agreed with Palace for Brady could potentially rise to £12m (€14m) with appearance and achievement-related add-ons.
