Promising Nigerian striker Ademola Ola-Adebomi has played himself onto the radar of Portuguese and Serbian clubs C.D Santa Clara and FK Radnicki respectively, with both sides looking to lure the youngster away from Crystal Palace this summer, Footynaija.com reports.
Ola-Adebomi joined Crystal Palace’s academy back in 2012 and has since risen through the youth ranks, displaying raw potential and impressing especially at the U18 and U21 levels. The 21-year-old notched 18 goals in 33 appearances for the U18s before proceeding to bag 28 in 46 outings with the U23s.
Ademola Ola-Adebomi’s senior career so far
Despite this impressive goal-scoring record, Ola-Adebomi has yet to make a senior appearance for the Eagles. So far, his senior career has been highlighted by a couple of unsuccessful loan spells at English League One side Burton Albion and Belgian Challenger League side Beveren respectively.
Ola-Adebomi joined Burton Albion in the 2024 winter transfer window on a six-month loan deal and went on to score just one goal in 14 appearances. In the summer of 2024, he completed another loan move to Beveren ahead of the 2024/2025 season but saw his stay at the club cut short by the following January as things just did not work out.
Ademola Ola-Adebomi will most likely leave Crystal Palace this summer
Having failed to break into the Crystal Palace first team, it appears the 21-year-old is set to be on the move this summer. A report from reliable transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims the England-born Nigerian striker “will leave” the London club in search of first team football elsewhere.
The same report namechecks C.D Santa Clara and FK Radnicki as potential destinations, revealing that talks are already underway to try and work a deal that will be favourable for all the parties involved.
While Ola-Adebomi’s senior career has yet to kick-off at Selhurst Park, his impressive goal-scoring record at youth level suggests there’s a player there. A move away and regular game time might just be what he needs to hit the ground running.
