Palace show faith with long term contract for teenager Kaikai

Sullay Kaikai has set his sights on breaking into the first team at Crystal Palace after signing a long-term contract, reports SkySports. The 18-year-old striker has impressed for the Eagles under-21 side this season, scoring six goals in 10 appearances while also catching the eye in several friendlies.

He told the Palace website: "I feel like it's a great achievement and that all my hard work has paid off, so I'd like to thank the club for awarding me the contract.

"I feel like I've adapted quite well this season in the development league. Last season I played a few games at that level and that helped me find my feet and it's been a good step for me to be playing regularly for them, so now the aim is to push on into the first team.

"When you play with players in the younger age groups and you see them progress it gives you the mindset that you can progress as well."
