Crystal Palace will only have to pay a cut-price compensation fee to West Brom for summer signing Nathan Ferguson.

The Athletic reports Palace have been told they will have to pay West Bromwich Albion just £900,000 for Ferguson following a tribunal that took place this week.

West Brom will be disappointed with the result of the tribunal considering they had initially agreed deal worth £8million in January 2020 for the defender.

However, a knee-related issue was picked up in his medical and the two clubs were forced back to the table to discuss how to proceed with the deal.

Palace wanted to renegotiate the terms of the deal to compensate for the risk associated with signing an injured player.

However, West Brom were unwilling to budge of the £8m figure that was first agreed.

Therefore, the Professional Football Compensation Committee were tasked with the job of determining a suitable fee for the midfielder.
