Palace striker Wilbraham happy being reunited with Puncheon

Crystal Palace striker Aaron Wilbraham has welcomed the signing of Southampton winger Jason Puncheon.

Both players were at Milton Keynes Dons together for two years and they could line-up once again against Stoke City today.

"Jason's a great player," Wilbraham told the Croydon Advertiser. "He can dribble with the ball, he's got a great shot with both feet, and he can carry the ball for the team which is what we've been missing since we lost Wilfried Zaha.

"I think it's a great addition to the team, he's a really good player and I know him well.

"I think he'll be really good for us and he's going to be back home too. He'll enjoy that and coming to training every day."
