Lumeka, who turns 20 next week, has been Palace`s under-23’s top scorer in each of the last three seasons, and was rewarded by playing twice for the first-team last season, including a professional debut as a substitute against Burnley in the Premier League twelve months ago.

Last season saw him score 13 goals in 25 appearances for the under-23 side, and he’ll hope to continue to find the back of the net at his temporary new home at London Road.
