Crystal Palace boss promotes 2003-born Irish-Nigerian LB to first team training pre-Man City

Published: March 14, 2022

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira promoted 2003-born Irish-Nigerian left-back Tayo Adaramola to first team training ahead of his side's Premier League clash against Manchester City on Monday night.

Palace have published their latest training images on their official website, and added that Adaramola trained with the first team squad again.

Former Arsenal captain Vieira monitored the Republic of Ireland youth teamer at close quarters this past weekend before deciding whether or not to include him in the matchday 20 to face the Citizens.

Other Nigeria-eligible youngsters spotted during the training session were the red-hot winger Michael Olise and attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze.

Adaramola was absolutely a key player for Palace's development squad at the start of the season and has been on the periphery of the first team since the start of 2022, having been named in the matchday squad on three occasions.

The 18-year-old's next target is to make his Premier League debut after two appearances in this season's Emirates FA Cup.
