Ghanaian midfielder Malachi Boateng is excited as he scooped Crystal Palace Under-23 Player of the Season award.
Boateng continued his remarkable rise this term, having picked up last season’s Under-18 award.
The 18-year-old made 22 appearances for the Eagles in 2019/20 and was selected by coach Shaun Derry for the award.
"My aggression has improved, my second ball – as Shaun was saying earlier – and I think also my shooting as well," he told the club's official website.
"I think I’m someone who can pass the ball well, lead the group as well; I like to talk to players."
"It’s a big step for us playing the teams like the Chelseas, the Tottenhams, and the Arsenals," he said. "I think it is really going to help us as a team get better and the club as a whole."
Boateng has been a regular amongst the first-team training group, too, and will no doubt have learnt a lot from playing so closely with the likes of Luka Milivojević, Cheikhou Kouyaté, and James McCarthy.
