DONE DEAL: Crystal Palace sign QPR keeper McCarthy

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of goalkeeper Alex McCarthy from QPR.

The 25-year-old has signed a four-year deal with the Eagles for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £3.5million.

Former Reading gloveman McCarthy spent last season at Loftus Road, making four first team appearances, and will now complete with Palace number one Julian Speroni for a starting spot at Selhurst Park.

"I'm over the moon," he told the club's official website.

"When I first heard about Palace's interest I was excited because I really wanted to be back in the Premier League.

"Towards the end of last season I started hearing little inklings about a move and then gradually over the summer things progressed and now, here I am."
