Puncheon’s a Permanent Eagle

Jason Puncheon has signed permanently for Crystal Palace after a successful 6-month loan spell with the Eagles.

The 27-year-old winger has been in fantastic form since the start of the new year, scoring in 3 of his last 4 matched in a run that has seen the South Londoners climb to 14^th in the Barclays Premier League table.

The former Millwall, QPR, and Southampton player has arrives for an undisclosed fee and has signed a four and a half year deal.

He told the official Crystal Palace website: “It’s great to sign a permanent deal, it’s something I dreamt about when I was a kid so I’m pleased to get it done. I was here when I was eight years old when the likes of Dean Gordon and Chris Armstrong were here so that makes its special.”

“The massive factor in this was the chairman and the manager, the gaffer has shown great faith in me since he’s been here and that’s been unbelievable for me. “

“It’s a boost for me mentally – I thought it might happen at the end of the season but it’s come quicker and obviously that’s good for both me and the football club.”
