Get to know Lucas Perri!
The Brazilian goalkeeper has arrived at Selhurst Park and will join the first team’s goalkeeping ranks until the end of the 2018/19 season.
Roy Hodgson has been forced to deal with some injury woes in this position recently, with Vicente Guaita and Wayne Hennessey both nursing respective knocks.
This led the manager to play veteran goalkeeper Julian Speroni in the Eagles’ last Premier League outing against Liverpool. The Argentine was unable to prevent the Reds coming out on top in a 4-3 win.
Perri will now be available for selection as Palace bid to push up the table in the remainder of the season.
