Crystal Palace Plot Medical For Target
Daichi Kamada is set to undergo a medical this week ahead of completing a move to Crystal Palace on a free transfer, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Kamada seemed destined to sign a new contract with Lazio last week and extend his stay at the Stadio Olimpico.
However, the Japanese midfielder did a U-turn and decided to opt for a move to Crystal Palace this summer.
Lazio felt betrayed by the player who they insist gave every indication about extending his stay before changing his mind following an offer to move to Selhurst Park.
It has been claimed that Kamada has been booked for a medical at Crystal Palace sometime this week.
The negotiations are at an advanced stage and a verbal agreement is already in place between the Japanese midfielder and the south London club.
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner played a pivotal role in convincing Kamada to consider the move to Selhurst Park this summer.
The midfielder worked under Glasner at Eintracht Frankfurt and is now set to reunite with him in the British capital.

Newcastle United pushing to seal second summer signing this week — linked with Liverpool & Spurs
Newcastle United remain confident of completing at least one free agent deal, despite missing out on Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo.
Eddie Howe’s side were in pole position to sign Adarabioyo before Chelsea hijacked the move last week. The 26-year-old is now due to undergo his medical in the coming days before penning a long-term contract at Stamford Bridge.
The Magpies are looking to bolster their defence this summer after losing Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles to ACL injuries, ruling the pair out until later this year. And while Adarabioyo’s decision to join Chelsea comes as a blow, talks have continued to progress with AFC Bournemouth centre-back Lloyd Kelly.
