Sandro Wagner, Gabriel Barbosa and Neal Maupay have all been touted with a move to Selhurst Park, but it appears as though Solanke is on his way to London.

The young forward has only scored one goal in the Premier League for Liverpool, but has been prolific for England’s under-21 side in recent months.

Solanke has scored eight in 15 games for England at under-21 level and has one senior cap to his name, which came in 2017.
