London - Crystal Palace have signed France midfielder Yohan Cabaye from Paris St Germain for a club-record fee of 10 million pounds ($15.44 million) on a three-year deal, the Premier League club said on Friday.

The 29-year-old joined PSG from Newcastle for 19 million pounds in January 2014 but struggled for first team opportunities at the Parc des Princes, starting just 13 games last season.

Palace boss Alan Pardew will be reunited with Cabaye after he signed the Frenchman from Lille in 2011 during his time as Newcastle manager and the midfielder was an influential figure at St James' Park, scoring 18 goals in 93 outings.

“I wanted to come and play for Palace because there are some really strong players here. They finished very well last season and I think they can compete to get into the top eight,” Cabaye told the club's website (www.cpfc.co.uk).
