Crystal Palace have signed midfielder Andros Townsend from Newcastle for £13m on a five-year deal.
The 24-year-old England winger has completed his move back to the Premier League, with Dwight Gayle going in the opposite direction in a separate deal.

Townsend scored four times in 13 games for Newcastle, having joined from Tottenham for £12m in January.
“I’m extremely delighted and pleased to be a part of Crystal Palace’s future,” he said.

Townsend, Palace’s first summer signing, came through the youth set-up at Tottenham, for whom he made his senior debut in January 2011.
Having had loan spells at nine other clubs – eight of them in the Football League – he established himself in the Spurs team, making 93 appearances in all competitions before his move to Newcastle.

Palace chairman Steve Parish said: “It’s fantastic that we’ve managed to get a player of Andros’ quality into the club. He has played in the Premier League for a number of years and represented England.
“I can’t wait to see him in a red and blue shirt in the very near future.”
