Crystal Palace have signed ex WBA midfielder Jerome Thomas

Crystal Palace are looking to announce the arrival of winger Jerome Thomaswithin 48 hours, reports the Croydon Advertiser.

It is reported Thomas, 30, and his representative team have been in talks with the Eagles for nearly three weeks, but it seems a deal is to be concluded by the weekend.

"The deal had hit a slight hitch but I think it's going to be all right - it's being ironed out," co-chairman Steve Parish said.
