Premier League side Crystal Palace have secured the signing of Nigerian international Christantus Uche on a season-long loan from La Liga outfit Getafe.
The 22-year-old Christantus Uche arrived in South London Crystal Palace after an impressive debut campaign in Spain. Uche featured 38 times across all competitions for Getafe last season, netting four goals and providing seven assists.
Uche has agreed a one-year loan deal in South London and will wear No. 12 for the Eagles.
The 22-year-old has represented Nigeria at senior international level and excelled throughout his sole season at the La Liga side.
First brought to Europe by Spanish fifth division side Moralo CP in 2022, Uche’s natural talent and potential saw him move onto third-tier AD Ceuta FC.
Uche becomes our fifth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Walter Benítez, Borna Sosa, Yeremy Pino and Jaydee Canvot.
Chairman Steve Parish said: “I’m delighted to welcome Christantus to the club – an exciting young talent, who is also a full international.
“Christantus has already shown his capability during his time in Spain and everyone at the club is looking forward to seeing him thrive in South London.”
Uche said: “This moment is unbelievable. I’m very lucky to be here today and this club is a big opportunity for me.”
Everyone at Palace would like to welcome Christantus to South London and wish him the very best for his career in red and blue.
