David Ozoh has been handed the soon-to-be-available place at Crystal Palace with the departure of Nigerian international Uche Chrisantus certain after failing to impress during his loan spell, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Christiantus came to the team on loan from Getafe with the obligation to sign him permanently at the end of the loan agreement, but certain conditions must be met for the agreement to take place.
He did not comply with the clauses of the agreement, so he will not be granted a prolonged stay at the club, which has already set the wheels in motion for his replacement before the summer transfer market.
Ozoh, on loan at Derby County, has made the progress expected when he was loaned to the English Championship side and will begin pre-season with them.
The 20-year-old is the target of Nigeria’s senior national team coach, Eric Chelle, who has already started talks with his representative about changing his nationality.
