EPL: Crystal Palace coach considers new role for Uche

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is considering using Christantus Uche in a new role, DAILY POST reports.

The Nigeria international moved to Selhurst Park from Spanish club Getafe on deadline day.

Uche made his debut for the Eagles in last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Sunderland.

The 22-year-old also featured in the Carabao Cup victory over Millwall on Tuesday.

The former Ceuta player is originally an attacking midfielder, but Glasner is considering playing him as a striker.

“Yes, he could be. He’s also physical. He’s an option that we are considering,” Glasner told the club’s official website.
