Crystal Palace have signed Chelsea winger Scott Sinclair on loan until the end of the season.

The Blues farmed out the 18-year-old to Charlton at the end of February, where he made three substitute appearances.

But that deal has been cancelled with immediate effect and Sinclair will now play out the remainder of the season at Selhurst Park.

It is Sinclair's third loan move of the season, having also spent time with QPR.

Palace will become the fourth club he has represented this campaign, following his appearances for Chelsea in the Community Shield, the FA Cup and the Carling Cup.

Both Palace and Charlton are vying for promotion from the Championship this year, with the Addicks lying in 10th place, just a point behind the Eagles in eighth.
