Fulham are close to agreeing a deal with Crystal Palace over the signing of defender Joachim Andersen.
Talks advanced over the past 48 hours and a compromise on a fee has been found. Palace had been seeking £40m for Andersen but it is understood the fee agreed is closer to £30m.
There is still work to do to finalise the deal but there is a willingness from all parties to complete the move.
Fulham had two bids for Andersen rejected by Palace this summer but he now looks set to return to Craven Cottage, where he spent the 2020/21 season on loan from Lyon.
Palace have also faced interest from Newcastle in Andersen’s fellow centre-back Marc Guehi during this transfer window.
The Magpies have made four offers for Guehi, the latest of which was worth around £65m, with all being rejected.
Palace have also been actively working on signing another defender over the past few weeks.
