Crystal Palace loanee Christantus Uche is weighing up his options amid uncertainty over his future and interest from a number of clubs over a potential summer transfer.

Uche joined Palace on loan from Getafe last summer with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

But the 22-year-old has struggled for consistent minutes and, while he is happy at Selhurst Park, Uche would want guarantees over a number of issues if he were to sign permanently for Palace.

Oliver Glasner is leaving when his contract expires at the end of the season, while a number of key first-team players, including Daichi Kamada and Jean-Philippe Mateta, could also leave.

Mateta is expected to depart at the end of the season after a Deadline Day move to AC Milan in January collapsed following a failed medical.

Kamada is not expected to sign a new contract when his current deal expires in the summer, while Marc Guehi left for Manchester City in January.

Palace face a summer of uncertainty and Uche is keeping his options open.

The Nigerian forward had offers to leave Palace in January but decided to stay and fight for his place, despite the club bringing in Jorgen Strand Larsen and Evann Guessand to bolster their attacking options.

Uche has since fallen further down the pecking order and has played just seven minutes off the bench since the close of the January window.
