Crystal Palace have completed the signing of exciting Nigerian attacker Christantus Uche from Getafe.

Uche has agreed a one-year loan deal in South London with an obligation to buy for a reported fee of £20 million.

The 22-year-old, who will wear No. 12 for the Eagles, is touted as a replacement for attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze following the latter’s move to join Arsenal last week.

Speaking to Palace’s in-house media team, Uche said: “This moment is unbelievable. I’m very lucky to be here today and this club is a big opportunity for me.”

First brought to Europe by Spanish fifth division side Moralo CP in 2022, Uche’s natural talent and potential saw him move on to third-tier AD Ceuta FC.

Signing for Getafe ahead of 2024/25, Uche made 38 appearances in all competitions, scoring on four occasions and contributing seven assists.

Uche rejoin his new Premier League club after participating in the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers for Nigeria against Rwanda and South Africa.
