Crystal Palace Go Head-To-Head With Huddersfield Town For Kyrian Nwoko

Londoners Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town are in a two - horse race to secure the services of Malta youth - teamer, Kyrian Nwoko.

Both teams have invited the 17 - year - old hailed as the Maltese Nwankwo Kanu for trails this month, before the offer of a contract.

Regarded as one of the top youngsters in the Island Nation, Nwoko made his Premier League debut for St Andrews when he was 16.

He was part and parcel of the Malta U17 squad that featured at the Euro U17s held in the Island Nation this summer.

The offensive all-rounder will arrive the United Kingdom this weekend for both trials, first with Huddersfield, then Crystal Palace.
