Crystal Palace chief Steve Parish believes new signing Lee Chung-Yong will prove a fans' favourite.

Lee was snapped up from Bolton Wanderers.

"I think he's a lovely footballer," said Parish. "He comes to us with a slight hairline fracture on his shin that he got in the Asia Cup but it shouldn't take too long, hopefully four or five weeks.

"Then he's got to get himself fit but we certainly see he can make a contribution until the end of the season.

"He's an exciting player and was very highly-rated by Bolton in the Premier League.

"Maybe he got lost with all the changes in the Championship and the adjustment, but we've been watching him for a long time and he's been in good form.

"He's an excellent player and we're very excited to have him at the club."
