New Crystal Palace defender Jaydee Canvot says it is a "big step" for him after completing a permanent move to the club.

The 19-year-old centre back has joined from Ligue 1 side Toulouse on a four-year deal.

He made his professional breakthrough last season and played 20 times across all competitions.

"It's very exciting. Crystal Palace are a really good club with a good sporting project," Canvot told club media.

"It's a big step because it's the best championship in the world, so I'm excited to start."

The France under-20 international becomes the Eagles' fourth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Walter Benítez, Borna Sosa and Yeremy Pino.

Chairman Steve Parish added: "Jaydee is an exciting talent whose progress has been on our radar for some time. We are pleased to welcome him to South London.

"His arrival bolsters a squad already brimming with talent and potential, and I look forward to seeing his impact both this season, and in the future, in red and blue."
