Marouane Chamakh has agreed a new two-year contract with Crystal Palace.

The South London Press says the Eagles are expected to finalise the deal this week.

It will be a major boost for boss Tony Pulis, who made the French born frontman a key part of his line-up after taking charge in November.

Palace have always made it clear they wanted to keep Chamakh, who signed a one-year deal last summer after arriving from Arsenal.
