- EXCLUSIVE with Graeme Bailey
Crystal Palace are now set to agree a third deadline day arrival.
With Eddie Nketiah set to join from Arsenal and Maxence Lacroix on his way in from Wolfsburg, a third arrival may be on the way.
This is as Crystal Palace look to replace one outgoing player who is joining a Premier League rival.
Now, We Are Palace can report that the Eagles are set for a new goalkeeper.

Matt Turner set to replace Sam Johnstone
We Are Palace understand that American international Matt Turner is set to join Crystal Palace to replace Sam Johnstone who is Wolves-bound for £10m.
The Nottingham Forest goalkeeper was sold by Arsenal for £7m last summer, and could now be on the move again, as the Eagles search for their new back-up goalkeeper.
Sources tell We Are Palace that the deal could possibly be a loan move, but a permanent switch has not been ruled out either.
Turner is a very solid goalkeeper and has far more pedigree to back up Dean Henderson who is now the No.1 than Mark Travers who looked previously like the favourite to be signed.
This duo would make it a strong goalkeeping pair for the Eagles, with Turner also likely to be willing to accept being second choice.
Crystal Palace find a strong replacement
Formerly of Arsenal, Turner is a very solid goalkeeper and one we would have confidence of being capable of starting games if Henderson was absent.
For the Gunners, Turner made seven appearances and kept four clean sheets in this time.
After moving to Forest, Turner made 21 appearances last season, conceding 31 goals and keeping just three clean sheets – although this was in a poor side.
Turner is a 44-capped United States international and therefore is absolutely a strong addition to the club – far better than Travers.
