Crystal Palace midfielder to head out the exit door on loan

Crystal Palace youngster Malachi Boateng is reportedly heading to Queen’s Park on loan.

The midfielder is set to head out the exit door on a temporary basis to get some experience under his belt.

Boateng, 20, is yet to leave Selhurst Park on loan so far in his short career.

According to journalist Alan Nixon on his Patreon, the academy graduate is moving to Scotland to link up with Owen Coyle’s Queen’s Park.

The Glasgow club play their football in the Scottish Championship after gaining promotion from League One in the last campaign via the play-offs.

Boateng has been on the books at Crystal Palace since 2012 and has risen up through the ranks of the Premier League club.

Palace handed him his first professional contract back in 2019 and he has since made 49 appearances in all competitions for their U23s team.

“Yeah potentially. Wherever I am on the pitch, I just want to play so I think it could be that role and if it is I’m happy to do it. For me it’s to get balls into the pockets, to get forward facing and create. That’s my job in the team, to create and score goals.”
