    Crawley Town have signed winger Malcom Ebiowei and defensive midfielder Klaudio Krasniqi.

    Ebiowei, 22, made his senior breakthrough at Derby County in 2021-2022 under Wayne Rooney and he then joined Premier League side Crystal Palace, but did not make any competitive starts for the Eagles.

    He also had a short spell with Blackpool at the start of last season.

    Crawley head coach Colin Kazim-Richards told the club website: "Malcolm is a talent that everybody knows and he has a talent that has been proven at the higher levels of our game.

    "When he is in form, he is outstanding and I am absolutely buzzing to get this deal over the line."

    Krasniqi, 25, completed a successful trial period with the Red Devils this summer, playing in two behind-closed-doors friendlies.

    He came through Bromley's academy before featuring in non-league for Erith & Belvedere, Phoenix Sports and FC Kent United.

    Krasniqi moved to play in the Gibraltar Football League with Bruno's Magpies in 2025, representing the club in the Conference League qualifying rounds.

    He then joined fellow Gibraltan side Glacis United, before leaving in June.

  2. Time to 'take the shackles off' Kostoulas?published at 15:24 BST 23 July

    Charalampos Kostoulas has a "big season" ahead of him, says former Brighton player Warren Aspinall.

    Striker Kostoulas was signed for £29.78m from Greek side Olympiacos in the summer of 2025 and made 21 appearances last season, scoring twice.

    However, the 19-year-old started just twice in the Premier League and once more in both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

    "It's a big season for Kostoulas," Aspinall told BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast.

    "Every time he appeared last season he did something, even if it was five minutes. I think we need to give him a good crack at the whip this time, take the shackles off him and let him go.

    "He is chomping at the bit and I think he can be very good for Brighton this season. I think he's raw and has everything in him. He doesn't give the defender a minute's peace. We need a striker who can stretch teams and go over the top - we don't have that player.

    "Fingers crossed Kostoulas comes to the party next season. If he could get 15 goals in all competitions I would be delighted. He just needs a run of games."

    BBC Radio Sussex's Johnny Cantor added: "We've talked about this striker situation a fair bit, but maybe he needs that opportunity to grow into that role with Danny Welbeck.

    "I like him. He's strong despite the fact he's not the tallest - it's difficult to get the ball off him.

    "There are different ways of being a good striker and he's different to Welbeck."
