Schalke 04 are reportedly poised to complete the signing of Victor Palsson from SV Darmstadt 98.

The relegated Bundesliga side are ready to pay €500,000 to acquire the services of the 30-year-old defensive midfielder with only a few minor details left to be ironed out, according to Bild.

Palsson, whose contract expires in 2022, has made 22 appearances for Darmstadt this season, racking up three goals and an assist.
