Lucas Perri has joined Crystal Palace on loan in what the Brazilian goalkeeper has called "the opportunity of my life".
The 21-year-old moves to Selhurst Park on loan from Sao Paulo, with the Eagles having the option to turn the move into a permanent one.
"It's an amazing feeling, I'm really glad to join the club. Two months ago, I knew [about] the possibility to join Palace," Perri told the club's official website.
"Since then, I was pretty anxious to be here because I really wanted that. It's huge, it's a really important thing to me. It's the opportunity of my life and I'm going to do whatever it takes."
With injuries to Vicente Guaita and Wayne Hennessey, Palace boss Roy Hodgson selected 39-year-old Julian Speroni against Liverpool last weekend.
Asked about his style, Perri added: "I really like to protect the goal, it’s the most important thing for the goalie.
"Today goalkeepers have to play with their feet. Safety is everything though, it’s the security for the team; to gain the team’s trust is the most important thing.
"It’s tougher in England, here the game you need more strength to play. The focus needs to be higher I think."
