Premier League club, Crystal Palace has completed the signing of former Chelsea captain Gary Cahill.

The 33-year-old defender who was released by Chelsea at the end of last season after spending seven years at the club, joins the Eagles on a free transfer.

According to the transfer deal, Cahill penned a two-year deal worth £75,000 a week with the club.

“I’m looking forward to the challenge,” said Cahill.

“I’m hungry to prolong my career as long as I possibly can – I feel like I’m in great shape whoever I play for.

“I’d like to think that I give it 110% and leave everything out there – so hopefully that will be good enough for the manager, my team-mates and also the fans.”

Palace boss Roy Hodgson said: “Having worked alongside Gary during my time as England manager, I know that he is going to be a valuable asset and I’m so happy to be working with him again.”

The former Bolton and Aston Villa defender won eight major honours with Chelsea.
