Crystal Palace hope to complete a deal for Brazilian youngster Lucas Perri in time for the player to feature against Tottenham in the FA Cup.
The London Evening Standard reports that the player is due to arrive in London for a medical on Monday, ahead of a move to Selhurst Park.
The report claims that the 21-year-old could be drafted straight into the starting XI following the club’s goalkeeping crisis.
Vicente Guaita and Wayne Hennessey are both sidelined through injuries, which forced the club to start 39-year-old Julian Speroni against Liverpool over the weekend.
Perri is highly rated in Brazil and has attracted interest from a host of clubs around Europe in recent months, despite not yet making his senior debut for Sao Paulo.
Palace are believed to have agreed a loan deal for the player that includes the option to buy at the end of the season.
