London's "Crystal Palace" has confirmed the acquisition of the same city's "West Ham United" defender James Tomkins. He was paid 10 million euros for him, and the Englishman himself signed a five-year contract.
Tomkins was a regular "hammer" player and had played more than 250 matches in this team since 2008.
However, now he has started a new stage in his career and has become the third purchase of "eagles" strategist Alan Pardew.
"I am very excited to join Crystal Palace, which is a huge club, and coach Alan Pardew, whom I know well, and for whom I will be grateful for helping me improve at Upton Park," said the 27-year-old football player.
Before this, the team also added winger Andros Townsend and goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.
