James Tomkins is set to join Crystal Palace from Premier League rivals West Ham, reports say.
The 27-year-old is believed to be a prime target of Palace boss Alan Pardew, who has already bolstered his squad with two signings this summer.
Tomkins is a popular figure in east London as a player to have graduated through the West Ham academy.
He has made over 200 league appearances for the Hammers but the versatile defender fell down Slaven Bilic’s pecking order during the 2015/16 campaign.
And according to the Daily Mail, the Basildon-born former England U21 player is set to join the Eagles in a £12.5m deal.
