Crystal Palace have just reached an agreement with Genk for Daniel Munoz – with the Colombian now flying to London for a medical.
That is according to Bob Faesen of HLN Sport.
So, what is the latest on Daniel Munoz for Crystal Palace fans to digest? Let’s take a look…
Crystal Palace strike Daniel Munoz agreement
Well, this deal should be wrapped up very quickly now.
Munoz had already agreed personal terms with Crystal Palace – according to Julián Capera of ESPN.
It came after a previous story from Faesen actually claimed that the South American had gone on strike to force through a move to Selhurst Park.
The only sticking point was agreeing a fee with Genk – although that has now been sorted, according to Faesen.
It is said that Crystal Palace and Genk have shaken hands on a fee of €10m (£9m) – with Munoz now heading to London to undergo his medical with the Eagles.
Therefore – should all go well in the Colombia international’s fitness checks – he should become a Crystal Palace player within the next 48 hours, at least.
At last, a right-back
Crystal Palace fans have been crying out for a new right-back for some time now.
It has been abundantly clear that Joel Ward, nor Nathaniel Clyne, are good enough for Premier League football nowadays, so a fresh face in that department was long overdue.
Finally, Dougie Freedman appears to have sorted the problem position out, with the signing of a highly attacking option in that area.
Munoz has impressively scored seven goals in all competitions so far this season – no Crystal Palace player has netted more – with one of those strikes being an outrageous bicycle kick.
It may take the 27-year-old a bit of time to adapt to the Premier League, but this is certainly a deal to get excited about.
