Crystal Palace are expected to change ownership before the end of the month.

The Mirror says a consortium, led by American Joshua Harris, has been in negotiations over buying a controlling stake in the Eagles for some time.

But with Premier League survival guaranteed and a complex deal close to finalisation, senior figures at the south London club expect to head into the summer transfer window with new owners.

Two of the current co-owners, Steve Parish and Steve Browett, are expected to retain stakes in the club that they rescued from administration in the summer of 2010.
