Chelsea forward Patrick Bamford has completed a season-long loan move to Crystal Palace, the Eagles have announced.

The 21-year-old won the second-tier Championship Player of the Year award for scoring 17 goals for Middlesbrough last season before the north-east side lost the play-off final to Norwich - and he will now look to continue that form in the Premier League.

Bamford, an England Under-21 international, has also spent time away from Chelsea with loan spells at MK Dons and Derby having originally signed for the reigning English champion from the Nottingham Forest academy.
