Premier League outfit Crystal Palace have agreed a club-record £7m fee with Wigan Athletic for Scottish midfielder James McArthur.
McArthur joined the Latics from Hamilton in 2010 and has made 154 appearances for the club.
He was a crucial part of the Wigan team that won the FA Cup in 2013, beating Manchester City in the final.
Leicester City earlier this summer agreed a fee for the Scot, but pulled out of the deal after they signed Argentine Esteban Cambiasso.
However, the Eagles have moved quickly to agree a deal for the midfielder, according to the Press Association.
