Crystal Palace have signed goalkeeper Lucas Perri on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old joins from Sao Paulo, where he came through the youth ranks, and he has also represented Brazil at U20 level.

Palace currently have stoppers Vicente Guaita and Wayne Hennessey injured, while 39-year-old Julian Speroni played in goal at Liverpool last weekend.

"It's an amazing feeling, I'm really glad to join the club," he said to the Palace website. "Two months ago, I knew [about] the possibility to join Palace.

"Since then, I was pretty anxious to be here because I really wanted that. It's huge, it's a really important thing to me. It's the opportunity of my life and I'm going to do whatever it takes."
