Crystal Palace have signed West Ham defender James Tomkins for £10m.

Tomkins has become the Eagles third summer signing following deals for England winger Andros Townsend and French goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.

West Ham academy graduate Tomkins, 27, made over 200 league appearances for the Hammers since 2008.

The defender did not travel with the West Ham squad for their pre-season tour of America last week.

Tomkins said: "I am really excited to be joining Crystal Palace, a massive club and a manager in Alan Pardew that I know well and will always be thankful for how he helped me develop in my younger days at Upton Park."

Chairman Steve Parish added: "I'm really pleased James has agreed to join us, he's someone Alan has always wanted to sign from his own days at West Ham.

"I'm sure he is destined to become a huge part of our team as we look to build on the progress the club has made over the last six years.

"It's been a really positive transfer window so far, everyone has worked really hard to make these deals happen and I think we are much stronger because of them."
