Andros Townsend has joined Crystal Palace
The winger joins on a five-year deal from Newcastle following their relegation to the Championship.
Palace triggered his £13million release clause just six months after he joined from Tottenham.
"I'm extremely delighted," Townsend said. "I had chats with the manager and chairman before I signed and I'm pleased to a part of Crystal Palace's future.
"By the sounds of things it's going to be a bright one and I can't wait to get started."
Chairman Steve Parish added: "It’s fantastic that we’ve managed to get a player of Andros’ quality into the Club. He has played in the Premier League for a number of years and represented England on many occasions and yet he's still only 24-years-old.
“Andros is another exciting attacking talent that we have added to our ranks and I can’t wait to see him in a red and blue shirt in the very near future.”
