Christantus Uche will stay at Crystal Palace until the end of the season
The Nigeria international joined Palace from Spanish club Getafe on a season-long loan on deadline day but has found it difficult to settle in at Selhurst Park.
There were reports that Palace were planning to send him back to Getafe in January, but Standard Sport now says the club has shelved that plan after his impressive display in the 2-1 win over Fulham last weekend.
With Uche not expected to be part of Nigeria’s squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, he is likely to play an important role for Oliver Glasner’s team over the busy festive period.
The 22-year-old has made five Premier League appearances for the London club.
