Young Talent Roshaun Mathurin Spotted Training with Crystal Palace After Impressive Trials
2 min read
Crystal Palace’s manager Oliver Glasner is wasting no time in exploring the club’s pool of young talent, with recent footage revealing promising academy stars joining first-team training sessions.
Following the warm weather training camp in Marbella, where academy prospects like Danny Imray, Franco Umeh, and Kaden Rodney were integrated into the senior squad, attention now turns to another young talent spotted at Selhurst Park.
Roshaun Mathurin, known to keen Crystal Palace followers as “Trialist B,” has caught the eye after impressing in trial games. Despite being released by Tottenham in June 2023, Mathurin’s performances earned him a professional contract with Crystal Palace. The winger was recently seen in training footage posted by the club alongside fellow prospect Victor Akinwale, indicating Glasner’s intent to assess and develop homegrown talent.
Glasner’s willingness to evaluate academy prospects reflects a refreshing departure from past practices, particularly under Roy Hodgson’s tenure, where young players were often overlooked. This inclusive approach underscores Glasner’s commitment to nurturing talent within the club, potentially saving millions in the transfer market.
With reports linking Crystal Palace to Sporting CP’s Marcus Edwards, Glasner’s interest in bolstering the squad with talented wingers aligns with Mathurin’s emergence. The 20-year-old has demonstrated his potential in Premier League 2, contributing three goals and four assists this season.
As Glasner continues to integrate youth prospects into first-team activities, there’s hope that players like Mathurin can follow in the footsteps of past academy graduates and establish themselves as regular starters at Selhurst Park.
