Crystal Palace

LEWIS GRABBAN has joined Oldham Athletic on a month's loan.

GRABBAN has come through the academy at Palace and the first-team experience will help his development.

Oldham manager John Sheridan said: “LEWIS is a young striker with bags of potential.

“We hope he can do for us what Jermain Defoe did for Bournemouth a few years ago.”
