Crystal Palace have completed the signing of teenage Millwall winger Romain Esse on a five-and-a-half-year deal.

The 19-year-old Lions academy graduate, who has represented England at under-18, U19 and U20 levels, joins for a reported, external fee of £12m, potentially rising to £14.5m with add-ons.

Esse made his debut for Millwall as a 17-year-old on 26 January 2022. He has gone on to score seven goals in 66 appearances.

"Romain is the type of player who gets crowds off their seats – the type of player long associated with south London and Crystal Palace Football Club," said Palace chairman Steve Parish, announcing the Eagles' first signing of the January transfer window.
