Palace set to sign Tomiyasu and consider March deal

Crystal Palace are set to sign Japan international defender Takehiro Tomiyasu on a free transfer following a successful trial. The 27-year-old is being considered as a potential option to play on the left side of a three-man central defensive line for the new season. Although Tomiyasu's recent career has been affected by knee issues, Crystal Palace is confident in his ability and wants to ensure his fitness before finalizing the deal.

The club is also said to be contemplating a move for winger Solly March, who left Brighton at the end of last season.
