Crystal Palace attacker attracting interest from elsewhere ahead of January

Crystal Palace attacker Malcolm Ebiowei is reportedly wanted by Hull City on loan. The Eagles have a decision to make regarding the youngster in the upcoming January transfer window.

The Sun report that the Tigers are keen to bring him in for the second-half of the season. Their new boss, Liam Rosenior, worked with the Londoner at Derby County.

Ebiowei, 19, was snapped up by Patrick Viera’s side over the summer on a long-term deal until 2027 following the Rams’ relegation to League One. He has since made four appearances in all competitions, two of which have come in the Premier League.

The teenager had spells in the academies at Chelsea, Arsenal and Rangers before moving to Pride Park in 2021. He then went on to play 16 times in the last campaign and chipped in with a single goal.

Loaning out Ebiowei this winter wouldn’t be a bad move by Crystal Palace, especially to Hull as he would get plenty of game time under his belt at the MKM Stadium to help boost his development. The Yorkshire outfit have made a slow start to the season and find themselves down in 20th position after seven wins in 21.
