That prediction is set to be proven right, with Pete O’Rourke reporting: “Romain Esse is currently undergoing his medical at Crystal Palace ahead of his move from Millwall.” The fee involved in the deal is reportedly £14.5million.

Being in limbo’s not a good situation for anyone because if it’s not going to get completed, I would be delighted for him to stay, and I’m sure everyone else at the club would be. But if it’s going to happen, let’s get it across the line, let’s get it finalised, and we can start to plan what our next steps look like.”
