Crystal Palace have signed James McCarthy from Everton.

The Republic of Ireland international has joined for an undisclosed fee.

McCarthy told the club's website: "I can't wait to get started. It feels like a very nice club, nice family club.

"The fans obviously come out in their numbers and I spoke to James [McArthur], he couldn't speak any more highly of it. I'm delighted to be here; it's a fresh start that I thought I needed."
