Crystal Palace are ready to snap up West Brom defender Nathan Ferguson.

The Sun says West Brom's right-back needed knee surgery after his deadline day deal to Crystal Palace fell through.

Ferguson, 19, faces six months on the sidelines until he recovers.

That will take him out of contract at the Baggies.

However, Palace are still keen to complete the signing and will try to sort out an adjusted price with Albion or go to a tribunal.

Ferguson was moving for around £8million plus extras in January. That figure may go down if he joins the Eagles now.
