Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock has continued his summer rebuilding plans at Selhurst Park by snapping up the Austria Vienna defender Johannes Ertl for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old is Warnock's third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Nick Carle and Paddy McCarthy from Bristol City and Charlton Athletic respectively.
Ertl has penned a two-year contract with the Eagles. Before joining Austria Vienna, he previously played for Sturm Graz and Kalsdorf.
Ertl has been capped seven times by Austria, but failed to make the squad for last month's European Championships.
