Through official channels, Londoners Crystal Palace have announced the hiring of striker Fisayo Adarabioyo on a short - term development deal, whose duration was not disclosed by both parties.

The Anglo - Nigerian caught the eye in a series of friendly games for the Under 21 Team, scoring a goal against Bristol City in one of his trial matches.

The 19 - year - old joins the Eagles as a free agent, having failed to extend his contract with St Johnstone at the end of last season.

Before his shift to Scotland, Fisayo Adarabioyo appeared for the academy teams of Manchester City and Birmingham City.

He was linked with a move to Manchester United about a year ago.
