Sources: Killian Phillips agrees new Crystal Palace deal ahead of Wycombe Wanderers loan

Killian Phillips has agreed a new Crystal Palace contact and is close to signing on loan at Wycombe Wanderers, sources have told Football Insider.

The Irish midfielder is seen as a top talent by Palace and the club have been keen to extend his deal in London before sending him out on loan.

The 21-year-old is finalising loan terms with the League One side after agreeing to commit for two more years under Roy Hodgson at Selhurst Park.

The 21-year-old had one year left on his deal with it due to expire at the end of June 2024 and Crystal Palace were keen to open up talks over a new deal.

Phillips will now sign a new deal at Selhurst Park until 2026 before setting out on loan to continue his development.

Phillips had major interest from a number of clubs in England and Scotland but will remain down south for the upcoming campaign and join Wycombe shortly.
