Crystal Palace are making a raft of players available for loan.

The Times says Palace are the first Premier League team to offer free loan moves to lower division clubs provided their players are selected for first-team action, according to a report.

The offer, which comes as lower-division teams struggle to meet the rising costs of loaning players from the English top flight, has been sent to all clubs in League One, League Two and the National League.

Palace see the move as a way of ensuring that emerging talent gains first-team experience.

The report also said that as many as 80 players from Premier League teams were expected to be sent out on loan to lower league sides before the EFL loan window closes on Friday.
