Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor is willing to sell his shares in the club in order to ensure the Eagles can enter next season’s Europa League, according to reports.

The American, whose Eagle Football Group owns 43 per cent of Palace, has imperilled the club’s chance of a first-ever European campaign owing to his involvement with Ligue 1 side Lyon, but is ready to offload his stake to his fellow co-owners in order to bring the saga to an end.
