Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman has revealed Fulham midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi is set to join the Eagles.
The South Africa international enjoyed a loan spell at Selhurst Park last season and is now expected to sign a permanent deal for a fee believed to be in the region of £600,000.
"KG will sign on a permanent deal. He's my kind of player and I've persuaded the chairman to buy him," Freedman told the Advertiser.
"At only 26 he's only going to get better with more games and I see it as a good investment for the football club.
"He wants to come here and play and I'm only interested in players who are keen to play for Crystal Palace and will make us a better side."
Dikgacoi is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Eagles.
