Jason Puncheon completes Crystal Palace loan switch

Southampton winger Jason Puncheon finalises a year-long loan move to fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace.

Southampton winger Jason Puncheon has joined Crystal Palace on a season-long loan deal.

Recent speculation had suggested that the 27-year-old was keen to secure a move to Selhurst Park for family reasons.

The deal has now been finalised on a 12-month basis and it has seen Puncheon be reunited with Ian Holloway, who was his manager during a separate loan stint with Blackpool in 2011.

"I know Ollie really well. He was a massive factor in this move. He knows the league. He's done it before and I think he will learn from his time at Blackpool and bring it into the team here," Puncheon told the club's official website.

"I actually played for Crystal Palace as a kid when I was eight. I left and there were a few times in my career that I was due to come back but didn't. Now I'm here that's the main thing.

"I've always as a young kid dreamed of playing at Selhurst Park, so it's a young boy's dream coming true."

The Eagles are the 12th club of Puncheon's career.
