Premier League side Crystal Palace have secured the signing of Nigerian international Christantus Uche on a season-long loan from La Liga outfit Getafe, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The 22-year-old forward, who will don the No. 12 jersey for the Eagles, arrives in South London 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’s journey in Europe began in 2022 with Spanish fifth-division side Moralo CP, before a swift rise saw him join third-tier AD Ceuta FC. His performances earned him a move to Getafe for the 2024/25 season, where he quickly adapted to top-flight football.

Having represented Nigeria at senior international level, Uche now becomes Palace’s fifth signing of the summer, joining Walter Benítez, Borna Sosa, Yeremy Pino, and Jaydee Canvot.
