Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says the Eagles were determined to help out Derby County by agreeing to a mutually beneficial deal for striker Luke Plange.
The 19-year-old arrived at Selhurst Park on deadline day for a reported fee of £1million. He has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract at Palace and will now go back on loan to the Rams for the remainder of the season.
Plange only made his senior debut for Wayne Rooney's side in December but has since scored three goals in six starts for the club, most recently netting in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Birmingham at Pride Park Stadium.
