Crystal Palace youngster Malcolm Ebiowei set to complete Oxford loan transfer | OneFootball

Winger, 20, is well thought of at Palace and expected to leave on loan

Crystal Palace are ironing out the final details of a loan deal that would see Malcolm Ebiowei join Oxford on loan.

The 20-year-old winger is understood to have stayed behind from Palace’s pre-season tour of the United States, and the Eagles always planned to consider loan options for Ebiowei for the 2024/25 season.

Standard Sport understands there is confidence an agreement could be reached in the coming days that sees the former England youth international join Oxford, who reached the Championship via the League One play-offs last term.

Roy Hodgson, Palace manager at the time, described Ebiowei’s performance as “outstanding” after watching him represent Palace’s Under-21s in a match against Monaco in the Premier League International Cup last October.

The previous season, Ebiowei joined Hull for the second half of the 2022/23 campaign and made 12 appearances. Ebiowei has made five first-team appearances for Palace to date.
