Crystal Palace confirmed on Saturday morning that youngster Adler Nascimento has signed professional terms with the club.
As to be expected, a number of Eagles fans have been reacting to the off-field news on social media.
Nascimento arrived at the club’s academy ranks over the summer from Championship side Peterborough United, where he made his professional debut at the age of 16 last May.
The Eagles reportedly forked out an initial £531,000 for his services, with the Portuguese teenager already making nine appearances for Palace’s under-18 side this season.
Nascimento has seemingly done enough to catch the eye in those games, despite starting on only three occasions, and he has penned professional terms at Selhurst Park.
Palace fans react
The Eagles’ official Twitter channel retweeted the club’s academy post regarding Nascimento’s contract on Saturday.
Here is what these Palace supporters had to say in reply, with one labelling it as ‘class news’ and another calling him an ‘absolute beast’.
