Crystal Palace midfielder Justin Devenny is undergoing a medical at Stoke City on Tuesday, ahead of a proposed move before the transfer deadline. As first reported by John Percy, the Northern Ireland international is expected to sign for the Championship club if the checks are completed without issue.

The report adds that Stoke intend to wrap up the deal before the window closes, with the medical indicating the move has reached an advanced stage. However, any transfer remains subject to final paperwork and formal confirmation from both clubs.

No fee, contract length or specific terms have been disclosed, and it is not yet clear whether the switch would be permanent or a loan. Neither club has made an announcement at the time of writing. Key details such as structure and duration will become clear only if the clubs confirm an agreement.

If completed, Devenny would leave a Premier League side for the Championship. The timing of any announcement is not specified beyond the plan to conclude it before the deadline.
