Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer is delighted to have landed Chelsea forward Ruben Loftus-Cheek on a loan deal.
The talented 21-year-old could manage just six subs appearances in the league with the Blues last season, and he has joined the Eagles on a season-long loan in search of regular playing opportunities.
"He is a very talented player and is a good height and even though he is quite tall, he has very good technique," De Boer said on the club's website.
"He is a technical and physical player, so after I looked at our squad I thought he could be a very helpful player for the team and gives us a quality injection.
"He is an attacking midfielder obviously, but with his attacking ability he could also be used as a sitting midfielder.
"We will have to see what is the best position for him and also what will be the best for the team."
