Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of reported Nottingham Forest transfer target Jefferson Lerma.
The 28-year-old joins them from Premier League rivals Bournemouth on a free transfer, penning a three-year contract. Forest were said to be interested in signing the midfielder, with Leicester also linked before their relegation was confirmed.
Lerma would have proven an astute signing for Forest had he moved to the City Ground, picking up Bournemouth's player of the season award as they avoided relegation. He is already experienced in the league and has attracted the attention of clubs further up the table.
