Jason Puncheon completes loan move to Crystal Palace

21 August 2013 - 21:49

Southampton winger Jason Puncheon has been loaned out to Premier League newcomers Crystal Palace for the season.

  • Chelsea midfielder looking forward to London derby vs Spurs
  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • Reports had recently suggested that the 27-year-old Saints winger was keen on a switch to the Eagles due to personal reasons.



    Puncheon will join Crystal Palace managed by Ian Holloway, who was his manager during a loan stint with Blackpool in 2011.



    Puncheon told the club's official website : "I know Ollie really well. He was a massive factor in this move. He knows the league. He's done it before and I think he will learn from his time at Blackpool and bring it into the team here.



    "I actually played for Crystal Palace as a kid when I was eight. I left and there were a few times in my career that I was due to come back but didn't. Now I'm here that's the main thing.



    "I've always as a young kid dreamed of playing at Selhurst Park, so it's a young boy's dream coming true."
