Player to soon sign for Crystal Palace or Ipswich Town – Newcastle United now out

Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town are leading the race to sign 16-year-old talent Serigne Afia Ndao from Be Sport Academy. The Senegalese youngster completed successful trials with both Premier League sides, while a planned trial at Newcastle United was canceled after he suffered an injury. He is reportedly expected to choose between Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town once his rehabilitation concludes.

Ndao has returned to Senegal for medical treatment on an unspecified injury before finalizing his future. The teenager is poised to sign his first professional European contract on a permanent deal, having previously attracted interest from several clubs including Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley.
