Freddie's enthusiasm to get playing for Palace is good news for the Selhurst Park fans. The young lad is keen to play.

"I'll get more experience from playing week-in, week-out in front of fans at a good standard of football," he continued.

"I think getting a good run in the team and starting to get some goals should be good.

"He (Warnock) said I'll play and then see what happens and hopefully we'll have a good season there."

The 19-year-old was wanted by several Championship clubs and he is expecting to play in a competitive division next season.

He added: "It's a good league. You see the teams coming up getting stronger and stronger and there are a few big teams in there like Newcastle and Middlesbrough, so it should be a good challenge.

"I think it will be a bit more physical. I don't think it will be faster as the Premier League is probably the fastest league. I'll just have to get stronger and see what happens."

Palace open their league season at home to Plymouth on Saturday August 8th.
