"I am delighted. Obviously I had a good end to last season and a good pre-season with Palace, so I just want to get back playing and to build on last season. This seems like the perfect club for that," he told the Cambridge website.

"There was other interest but after speaking to the gaffer and hearing about the way he wants to play, it is exactly how I want to play too, so I made my decision."

Manager Mark Bonner added: "We are pleased with this addition to the squad as we believe John-Kymani can provide another quality attacking option for us, creating a competitive situation in the front line.

"Throughout his loan period, I expect to see him excite supporters with his direct attacking and powerful play. Like many of our forwards, he can play in a number of positions and his qualities suit us perfectly.

"John-Kymani is fit and raring to go having been involved throughout pre-season and the start of the season with the first team at Crystal Palace. Following a successful loan spell last season, he joins us ready to make an impact on the team over the busy months ahead as we head into the autumn."
