Crystal Palace have signed former Arsenal striker Morgan Ferrier on a short term contract following his trial in the U21 side last season.

The 19-year-old, who scored once in four appearances for the club's development side in the previous campaign, has previously spent time with Watford and Nottingham Forest

A free agent, Palace took him on trial and he scored in the Eagles' 2-0 victory at home to Charlton Athletic.

Ferrier has done enough to earn himself a short term deal to link up once again with Palace, but will have to continue to work hard if he is to secure a longer deal.

The former Arsenal man is often deployed as a target man in a front three. 

Although predominantly a striker, he can also play in midfield.
