Crystal Palace new-boy Yohan Cabaye insists he is ready to “fight” for manager Alan Pardew with the pair reunited following the midfielder’s move from Paris Saint-Germain.
The former Newcastle man will again link up with Eagles’ boss Pardew, who initially took Cabaye to St James’ Park in 2011.
Cabaye will be hoping to help Palace build on their top-half finish from last season and has praised Pardew for playing a big role in bringing him back to the Premier League.

“I’m very happy to be here and to work again with the manager,” he said after sealing a club-record £13 million (Dh57m) switch.
“It’s great to be back in the Premier League; the club have given me that opportunity so now I want to do my best to thank them and give my best on the pitch. I know the manager, I know England and the language and I know the Premier League.”
