Joe Ling
After joining Palace as a 13-year-old, Joseph Ling is another exciting option in central midfield to come from the club’s youth system.

Now a second-year scholar, Ling was in the matchday squad on a number of occasions last season, as Paddy McCarthy’s Under-18s lost out in the title race on goal difference.
As his physical development continues under Rob Quinn, he has played regularly for the U18s at the start of the 2021/22 campaign. After being introduced as a substitute against West Bromwich Albion, he scored the winner in a dramatic 3-2 victory – his first goal for the side.
