"Romain is the type of player who gets crowds off their seats the type of player long associated with south London and Crystal Palace Football Club," said Palace chairman Steve Parish, announcing the Eagles' first signing of the January transfer window. "Everyone at the club is looking forward to watching him shine on the pitch, and fulfil his exciting potential."
"I'm very excited to be here. It's a good project and a good opportunity, so I just can't wait to get started," Esse told the Palace website.
The deal was finally confirmed by Palace on Saturday after Esse completed a medical. Lambeth-born Esse has weighed in with five goals for Millwall this season, his last coming in a 2-1 defeat in the Championship at Norwich on Boxing Day.
Millwall manager Alex Neil left the youngster out of his side for Monday's 3-0 FA Cup win over Dagenham & Redbridge and called for a resolution to Esse's future amid the transfer speculation.
