CRYSTAL Palace are moving closer to a £1.5m deal for Russian midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, according to reports.
The 29-year-old previously spent two-and-a-half years at Everton and has been linked with a move back to England, having spent the second half of last season on loan at Anzhi Makhachkala from Spartak Moscow.
Several Premier League clubs are said to be interested in a deal for Bilyaletdinov, who did not make the Russian World Cup squad, but reports in Russia suggest that Palace are in pole position.
Meanwhile, Tom Ince is reportedly on the verge of joining Premier League new boys Queens Park Rangers, according to reports.
Ince spent the second half of last season on loan at Palace, but having been linked with Inter Milan, Hull City and Stoke City, the Daily Mail is reporting that Ince could join up with Harry Redknapp at Loftus Road.
