Villarreal winger Yeremy Pino will have a medical at Crystal Palace on Thursday as part of a transfer worth more than £21.5 million, according to a report.
Spain international Pino, 22, is poised to sign a five-year contract to leave the club where he has spent his entire career, The Athletic has said.
Palace are seeking creative reinforcements following Eberechi Eze’s £60m move to Arsenal, who swooped for the forward responsible for 14 goals and 11 assists for The Eagles last season.

Yeremy Pino stats
A Villarreal debutant under current Aston Villa boss Unai Emery in October 2020, Pino won the 2020/21 Europa League with the club and became a regular the following season, producing seven goals and four assists in 40 appearances.
Pino made his Spain debut against Italy in 2021 and had a productive 2022/23 campaign before a knee injury ruled him out of much of 2023/24.
He returned with four goals and seven assists last season, including a run of six direct goal contributions during his final seven league matches.
Spain started Pino in their Nations League final triumph against Spain in 2023 and introduced him as a substitute in their defeat to Portugal in this year’s decider.
The most similar player to Pino in the five major European leagues over the last year has been Tottenham and Sweden’s Dejan Kulusevski, according to statistics site FBREF.
