Crystal Palace sign Derby youngster Luke Plange

Crystal Palace have signed Derby County forward Luke Plange on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

The 19-year-old will return to Derby on loan until the end of the season and will join up with the Eagles in the summer.

“I’m very excited to be joining a big Premier League club,” Plange told the club’s official website.

“I’m ready to crack on. Obviously I’ll be with Derby, fighting for them in the Championship at the moment, but I will be ready to go back to Crystal Palace in the summer and get ready to go.”

Plange made his Derby debut against Bristol City in December and scored his first professional goal in their 1-0 win against Blackpool.
