Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Nigerian forward Christantus Uche on a season-long loan from Getafe.
The 22-year-old, who has represented Nigeria at senior international level, will wear the No. 12 shirt during his time at Selhurst Park.
Uche arrived in Spain in 2022 with fifth-division side Moralo CP before stepping up to AD Ceuta FC in the third tier.
His progress earned him a move to Getafe, where he featured 38 times last season, scoring four goals and providing seven assists.
