# Palace set to miss out Michael Ngadeu as Fulham activate clause

Crystal Palace are set to miss out on defender Michael Ngadeu, with the Cameroonian set to travel to Fulham for talks.

Fulham have activated the release clause of the defender, meaning the defender is set to travel from Slavia Prague to London for talks with Claudio Ranieri’s side.

Palace had emerged as a potential destination for the defender, with the Eagles battling Fulham and Cardiff for the player’s signature.
