Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have signed Swansea City midfielder KEMY AGUSTIEN on loan for the rest of the season.

AGUSTIEN, 24, joined Swansea in the Autumn after impressing in a trial but he suffered a serious knee injury on the club's Holland tour and has struggled to get in the side.

Swans boss Brendan Rogers feels it is best the Dutchman gets some games under his belt with the player managing just 11 appearances this term.

"I felt KEMY needed games," said Rodgers. "He has found it difficult this season. I brought him in and he is a good lad, but some players are all right if they are not playing and others are not.

"KEMY is the type who wants to play. He came here injured and the players in his position have done very, very well. But he can go to Palace and get games and then we will assess it from there.

"He can help Crystal Palace and at the same time we can monitor him while he is playing regularly."
