Palace striker Umolu joins Port Vale on loan

League Two side Port Vale have signed teenage striker Jemiah Umolu on loan for the rest of the season from Premier League club Crystal Palace.

The 19-year-old has scored 13 goals in 16 games for Palace's Under-21 side across all competitions and leaves them as the top scorer in Premier League Two.

He is in his first full season with the Eagles, who he joined as a free agent last summer after being released from West Ham's academy.

Vale boss Darren Moore said Umolu is a "fantastic addition and another excellent attacking option" for his side as they push for promotion.
