This is indeed a win-win situation for all parties involved here. Bamford signs new deal with Chelsea. The player himself will get an exposure in the Premier League and can flourish under the tutelage of a good manager in Alan Pardew. Furthermore, Palace gets a good striker who has the potential to become a top player in future.
