Puncheon meanwhile has been on-loan from St Mary’s for the past six months and has impressed manager Tony Pulis enough for the Welshman to make the deal permanent.
The club can also confirm that Jason Puncheon has signed a four and half year permanent deal at the club – story to follow shortly.

The 27-year-old has played 22 matches for the Eagles in all competitions this term and has scored three goals and provided three assists.
The winger is seen as an important component in Palace’s bid to stay in the Premier League after earning promotion from the Championship via the play-offs last season.
These two additions are expected to be the first of at least a few more arrivals at Selhurst Park, the most prominent of which is England under-21 international Tom Ince.
The Blackpool star is in talks with the south London club over a proposed loan move – with a view to making that permanent when the 21-year-old’s current contract expires in the summer.
