Crystal Palace have confirmed the permanent signing of midfielder Lee Chung-Yong from Bolton Wanderers.

The South Korean has signed a three and half year deal with the Eagles.

Palace co-chairman Steve Parish confirmed to Holmesdale Radio that Lee has an injury which will keep him out of action for a few weeks, but hopes he will be able to play a big part in the tail end of the current season.

The South Korean signed for Bolton back in 2009 from FC Seoul.

He went on to play 195 times for the Trotters, scoring 20 goals.

Lee also has represented his country in two World Cups, scoring twice in the 2010 competition.

He also won his 65th cap in the opening game of the Asian Cup last month, but returned home after that through injury.
