Crystal Palace looked to have secured their first signing of the winter transfer window, with reports suggesting they have agreed a deal to sign 17-year-old striker Rylan Brownlie.

He made 12 appearances in the A-League last season, scoring one goal and providing one assist as he began to make more appearances from the substitutes bench for the Australian side. He will now join Palace and likely get game time in the youth teams before looking to develop into a first-team star.
