Oxford sign Palace winger Ebiowei on loan

Malcolm Ebiowei featured in three Premier League games for Crystal Palace during 2022-23

Oxford United have signed winger Malcolm Ebiowei on loan for the 2024-25 season from Premier League side Crystal Palace.

Ebiowei has made five appearances for Palace since joining the club in 2022, having previously spent time in the academies of Chelsea, Arsenal and Derby.

The 20-year-old also played in three friendlies for England's Under-20s side and spent last season on loan with Belgian side RWD Molenbeek.

Ebiowei's arrival at Oxford follows the signing of fellow winger Matt Phillips, formerly of West Brom, 24 hours earlier.

"The wide areas are one area that we were keen to make additions to, and with Matt Phillips joining on Thursday, and now Malcolm, these signings will help us play the way we want to going forward," said head coach Des Buckingham.

"I have had some really good conversations with Malcolm before signing, and he is a player and person who is ready to learn and develop, and hopefully we can see the best of him this season."
