Crystal Palace is nearing the completion of a deal to sign Australian teenager Rylan Brownlie, who developed his skills with A-League team Brisbane Roar. Brownlie departed from the club in the summer to explore opportunities abroad and has been training with Crystal Palace since then. Reports from Football Insider suggest that Brownlie's performance has been impressive during his time with the Eagles, resulting in an agreement for a permanent transfer. He is anticipated to become a member of Crystal Palace's U-18 squad.
