Once again Palace have the option of making the move permanent having decided not sign the player for £28 million following his first spell.

"I'm so happy to be here," the 25-year -old said on his return to the club.

"I already have good memories here – but I think it's only the beginning. I hope many more are coming."

Before joining Palace, former OGC Nice man Guessand played 21 times for Aston Villa in the first half of last season, scoring two goals and assisting once.
