James McArthur is close to signing a new contract with Crystal Palace.

According to the Daily Mail, the Eagles have agreed a two-year extension with the 27-year old Scottish midfielder who arrived at Selhurst Park from Wigan Athletic prior to last season.

McArthur, who made 32 Premier League appearances last term, emerged as a target for Norwich City who are managed by his former Hamilton teammate Alex Neil.

However, he is set to commit to Palace for the next four seasons after initially being contracted until the summer of 2017.
