Young Ghana midfielder Malachi Boateng has signed his first professional contract with Premier League side Crystal Palace.
The 17-year-old is the brother of the Selhurst Park outfit’s Academy graduate Hiram Boateng.
He has featured four times for the Crystal Palace Under-23s this season, scoring once against Hull City.
Malachi Boateng excelled with the Crystal Palace U-18s last season where he made 16 appearances and was named the best player among his teammates at the end of that campaign.
He also plays as a centre-back and is eligible to represent both Ghana and England.
