Crystal Palace youngster signs new contract

Striker Sullay Kaikai has signed a new deal with Premier League side Crystal Palace.

The 18-year-old, who joined the club four years ago, has scored six goals in 10 outings for the development team this season.

Having agreed to new terms, Kaikai has turned his attention to forcing his way into Tony Pulis's senior setup.

"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," he told the club's official website.

"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.

"I just hope to train with the first team more often from now on and if I get given the chance I'll hopefully take it."

Kaikai has been named in a number of matchday squads this term, but has so far not been given a place on the bench.
