Patrick Bamford will be given his first taste of Premier League football after joining Crystal Palace on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
The 21-year-old put pen to paper on a new three year deal at Stamford Bridge before sealing the move to Selhurst Park.
Bamford impressed on loan at Middlesbrough last season, scoring 17 goals as Boro narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League.
Bamford’s exploits on Riverside looked to have earned him a place in Jose Mourinho’s squad next season, but it has now been decided his development will be away from Stamford Bridge with Diego Costa, Loïc Remy and Radamel Falcao all higher in the pecking order than the England U’21 international.
Instead, Bamford will now be competitng for starting places alongside Marouane Chamakh, Glenn Murray, Dwight Gayle and Fraizer Campbell at Palace.
