Palace move closer to Tomiyasu signing

Crystal Palace are set to sign Takehiro Tomiyasu on a free transfer following a successful trial and are considering a move for winger Solly March. BBC Sport reported last week that Palace and defender Tomiyasu were in talks over a permanent contract that would see the Japan international return to the Premier League. A broad agreement on terms had been in place, with Palace head coach Pierre Sage tasked with deciding whether to sign the versatile 27-year-old defender.
