Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri has signed for Crystal Palace on loan until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old joins from Sao Paolo, where he progressed through the ranks and became a Brazil Under-20 international.
"It's an amazing feeling, I'm really glad to join the club," said Perri. "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."
Palace signed goalkeeper Vicente Guaita last summer, but Wayne Hennessey has been the first choice for the majority of the season.
Both players are currently out injured, meaning Julian Speroni was in goal for Palace's last match - a 4-3 defeat to Liverpool.
