It&#8217;s clear he won&#8217;t get a chance at an English club. Oliver Glasner doesn&#8217;t seem to like this player. A January move would be ideal for all parties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Crystal Palace had the option of signing the player permanently for \u00a317m at the end of the season, but that seems highly unlikely at this point. The player has not been able to impress in England and has failed to impress Crystal Palace with his performances in training.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_will_Uche_end_up\"><\/span>Where will Uche end up?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/crystal-palace-v-millwall-carabao-cup-third-round-1-414x273.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/crystal-palace-v-millwall-carabao-cup-third-round-1-630x416.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/crystal-palace-v-millwall-carabao-cup-third-round-1-768x507.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/crystal-palace-v-millwall-carabao-cup-third-round-1-770x508.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/crystal-palace-v-millwall-carabao-cup-third-round-1-900x594.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/crystal-palace-v-millwall-carabao-cup-third-round-1-1200x792.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/crystal-palace-v-millwall-carabao-cup-third-round-1-1536x1013.jpg.webp 1536w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/crystal-palace-v-millwall-carabao-cup-third-round-1-2048x1351.jpg.webp 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crystal Palace&#8217;s Crisantus Uche runs for the ball ahead of Millwall&#8217;s Kamar Grant during the Carabao Cup third round match between Crystal Palace and Millwall at Selhurst Park in London, England on September 16, 2025.

Getafe also does not consider him a key player, so it will be interesting to see if they can find a new home for him in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In any case, it makes no sense for the player to stay at Crystal Palace. He won&#8217;t want to sit on the bench for the rest of the season. He should look for a new club where he can get more opportunities and get his career back on track.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There is no doubt that he has the qualities to compete at a high level and joining the right team will bring out the best in him again.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crystal Palace signed Crisstantus Uche from Getafe in the summer transfer window.
