Crystal Palace

Arsenal youngster RUI FONTE has signed for Crystal Palace on a month's loan.

The 18-year-old striker joined the Gunners from Sporting Lisbon in 2006 and will play alongside his older brother Jose in the Eagles team.

FONTE made his Arsenal bow as a substitute in the Carling Cup Fourth Round victory over Wigan Athletic at Emirates Stadium in November.

FONTE has scored three goals in seven appearances for the reserves this season.
