Brentford sign Sullay Kaikai on loan from Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace winger Sullay Kaikai has joined Brentford on loan for the rest of the season.

Kaikai joined Palace as a 15-year-old in 2010, but has so far struggled to break into the first team at Selhurst Park, making just two appearances for the Eagles.

Now 21, Kaikai has spent the last two years on loan at Cambridge United and Shrewsbury Town respectively, and he will now spend a third consecutive campaign away from Palace.

"I am really pleased to have Sullay join us for the season, I am thankful to Alan Pardew and Crystal Palace for making this happen," manager Dean Smith told the club's official website.

"Sullay is a player I feel will enhance our squad, he brings pace, energy and goals and is a player we have watched several times at Crystal Palace and Shrewsbury last season where he excelled. I believe we can help him on his development pathway and he will certainly help us fulfil our ambitions."

Co-director of football Phil Giles added: "Sullay has been a priority target for the whole of this transfer window. We had to wait until the very last day for Crystal Palace to agree to our request for the loan.

"It was a risk for us to wait to see if this loan would happen whilst turning down other opportunities, so I'm glad that our patience has been rewarded. We believe that Sullay will be a perfect fit at Brentford this season, and look forward to him joining the squad at training tomorrow."

Kaikai made his Premier League debut for Palace on the last day of the 2015-16 campaign.
