We have reached the midway point of the 2024-25 season and therefore the midpoint of the season for all of the Crystal Palace loanees. It has certainly been a mixed bag with players such as Malcolm Ebiowei and Roshaun Mathurin struggling to make impacts.
The likes of Odsonne Edouard, Naouirou Ahamada and Tayo Adaramola have also struggled to break into their respective clubs line-ups.
However, it is not all doom and gloom with Danny Imray, Jack Wells-Morrison, Owen Goodman and Joe Whitworth all flourishing.
January also brings opportunities for more players to go out on loan, with rumours surrounding moves for Asher Agbinone, Sean Grehan, Franco Umeh and Jaydon Raymond.
The Eagles have already been busy finding opportunities for their youngsters during the January window, with centre-half Chris Francis completing a loan move to National League side Dagenham & Redbridge.

David Ozoh (Derby County)
David Ozoh could be back on the field for the Rams this month with Paul Warne confirming he is hopeful that the midfielder is nearing a return.
-
Owen Goodman (AFC Wimbledon)
Goodman kept his eleventh clean sheet of the season last week as the Dons beat Gillingham 1-0.
Last Thursday, Goodman continued his fine form, making several vital saves as Wimbledon’s strong promotion push continued, beating Newport County 2-1.

Danny Imray (Bromley FC)
Imray has been turning heads at Bromley and it is rumoured that clubs in higher divisions are interested in taking the young full back on loan with Wycombe a side particularly strongly linked.
He has started 22 games this season and been an ever present for manager Andy Woodman at Hayes Lane. Last weekend was a poor result to 2025 for the Lilywhites though with a 4-1 defeat at Crewe and Imray subbed after 68 minutes.
-
Joe Whitworth (Exeter City)
Whitworth picked up his first assist in senior football with his long ball setting up Demetri Mitchell to give Exeter a 1-0 lead against Bolton Wanderers. The Grecians did go on to lose the game 2-1.
While Whitworth has made some mistakes of late, he is a fan favourite down in the West Country, and has been impressive throughout his loan spell with his fantastic range of distribution and shot-stopping abilities.
-
Killian Phillips (St Mirren)
Midfielder Phillips is a constant in St Mirren’s starting eleven and looks to be holding his own in the SPL.
It has been a tough start to 2025 for the Saints as they have lost both their games since the start of the New Year, 2-0 away at Kilmarnock and 3-0 away at Celtic.
-
Malcolm Ebiowei (Oxford United)
Ebiowei’s loan ended with him just playing 64 minutes of football across four games for the U’s. Ebiowei clearly has a lot of talent but with questions over the youngster’s attitude on and off the pitch it remains to be seen if Ebiowei has a future at Palace.
It is reported the Palace will be looking for a different loan move for Ebiowei, who will hope to find a more fruitful environment.
-
Jack Wells-Morrison (Wealdstone)
19 year-old Jack Wells-Morrison’s loan at Wealdstone has ended with the midfielder returning to the Palace’s U21s.
He racked up 24 games for the Stones and the Eagles will be hoping that they can get him a loan into the football league pyramid for the rest of the season.
-
Roshaun Mathurin (Hartlepool United)
Young attacker Mathurin’s disappointing loan spell at Hartlepool has ended with him playing 12 games but only receiving three starts.
There was a managerial change while the youngster was at the club but his next loan will be incredibly important to see if Mathurin can reach his potential.
-
Naouirou Ahamada (Stade Rennais)
Ahamada made his debut and sole appearance for Stade Rennais on the 22nd December, when the Frenchman came off the bench in the 4-1 Coupe de France victory over Bordeaux.
-
Odsonne Edouard (Leicester City)
Edouard was once again not in the squad for Leicester, and has not featured since a two minute cameo against Manchester United on the 10th November 2024.
