Pancrate set for Betis

The 26-year-old, who has said he wants to leave immediately, had been linked with West Ham.

Pancrate is a close friend of current Betis boss Luis Fernandez and is understood to have arrived in Seville for contract talks and a medical.

He will join on a six-month loan deal with a view to a permanent move in the summer, which should facilitate the proposed move of Peguy Luyindula to PSG.
