James McArthur excited over Palace move

James McArthur is excited about his move to Crystal Palace.

The former Wigan Athletic midfielder made his big money move on Monday.

"I am delighted to be here, I want to be playing at the top level and the Premier League is that - I am happy to sign for Crystal Palace," said McArthur.

"It's a three-year deal. I am heading up to Scotland to join up with the national team and be back in next week for training and get ready for Burnley.

"I know Barry Bannan already here and have a good bond with him, so I'm sure he'll give me a hard time!

"Palace look dangerous going forward so I think if we can keep scoring goals, we have a good chance (of progressing further).

"It was an excellent game up at Newcastle on Saturday and we were unlucky not to win the match.

"Scoring in the last minute makes it look like a good result but the performance deserved more."
