Crystal Palace are closing in on their first summer signing as a sign of what could be a brilliant summer.
The sun is shining in south London and it’s not summer proper yet. Real Betis defender Chadi Riad is on his way to Selhurst and will have a medical this week, as exclusively reported by LondonWorld last week.
The Eagles have agreed to a stunning £14million deal for the 20-year-old who will provide intense competition for both starters Marc Guehi and the ever-improving Joachim Andersen.
He has two caps for his country Morocco already and joined Betis from Barcelona last summer. At Barcelona, he was one of the highly-rated youngsters in their academy.
