Palace confirm winger loan deal – but injury niggle means Hull debut will have to wait
Crystal Palace winger Malcolm Ebiowei has joined Hull City on loan.
The teenager has made five senior appearances for the Eagles since signing from Derby County in the summer.
Ebiowei reconnects with Tigers manager Liam Rosenior, who he worked with when the pair were both at Pride Park.
“I am delighted that Malcolm has decided to join this football club and that we’ve beaten off a lot of competition for his signature,” Rosenior told Hull’s official website.
“He was my main attacking target from the moment I came in and everyone has worked hard to make it happen. I can’t thank Acun and Tan enough for backing me.
“Malcolm is someone I’ve worked with before and has got undoubted ability and potential. He’s an outstanding one-v-one player, is creative, quick and can get fans off their seats. He’s got a great work ethic and is a lovely young lad who will fit into the group perfectly.
“He’s had a minor injury and is working on his rehab at Crystal Palace but is someone we believe is worth the wait. He’ll be with us soon and I can’t wait to have him at the club and get working with him.”
