Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Loic Remy from Chelsea on a season long loan.

The 29-year-old French forward joins compatriots Yohan Cabaye and Steve Mandanda in the 25-man squad which will be announced after the transfer deadline tomorrow evening.

"It was very important to know Alan Pardew as he is a very good manager and I am happy to be here," said Remy.

Alan Pardew said: "Loic has been a target of mine throughout this transfer window and I'm delighted the deal has been done.

"I brought him to Newcastle so I know what he is capable of and I am convinced he will be a quality addition to our squad as we evolve.

"Loic has international and Champions League experience as well as being a Premier League title winner and is the latest example of the high calibre of players we have brought into the club during this transfer window."

Meanwhile: striker Freddie Ladapo joins Oldham on loan until January.
