Oxford United have made their 11th signing of summer with the arrival of forward, Malcolm Ebiowei.

The 20-year-old, who has been capped three times at England U20 level, joins the U’s on a season-long loan from Crystal Palace.

The winger, who can also play up top, will be ready and available when the U’s welcome Norwich in the opening game of the new Championship campaign.

Speaking after signing, he said: “I’m really excited to be here at Oxford United and I can’t wait to get going.

“I think this will be the place for me to really flourish as a player and I want to give my all for this badge.

“I want to have an important role and do everything I can to meet the ambitions of the football club and I am very excited for that first game against Norwich City and to meet the fans.”

Des Buckingham said: “There is real potential and excitement about the signing of Malcolm.

“Malcolm has been training with Crystal Palace throughout the summer and is ready to hit the ground running, and we are excited to see what he can offer when he steps onto the pitch.

“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.

“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.”
