27-year-old defender on verge of joining Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are closing in on the signing of Ajax left-back Borna Sosa, according to reports from De Telegraaf.

The 27-year-old defender, who joined Ajax from Stuttgart last summer for €8 million, has struggled to live up to expectations during his stint in the Eredivisie, prompting Ajax to consider offers for the player this window.

The Dutch club is keen to move Sosa on, and Crystal Palace have identified the Croatian as an ideal option to strengthen their left-back position under manager Oliver Glasner.
