According to Fabrizio Romano, the newly promoted Premier League side are optimistic of sealing the transfer in the next few hours, though nothing has been agreed and the pursuit remains on track.

An initial approach was rejected before the fresh proposal was submitted.

Palacios is reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League after five and a half years with Leverkusen.

The Argentina international is under contract until 2030, leaving the Bundesliga side in a strong negotiating position.
