Crystal Palace winger Sullay Kaikai is being tipped to become the club's next big talent.

Kaikai is on loan at Shrewsbury and scored two fine goals off the bench to help his side come back from 2-0 down to win 4-2.

The 20-year-old's performances have led Shrews boss Nicky Mellon to believe it won't be long before he'll be featuring in the Premier League.

Mellon said: "People will laugh but I told him a few weeks ago ‘you’ll be on Match of the Day.'

"Hopefully that will be a long time from now, because I want to keep him here but that’s how good he is and he’s a brilliant kid as well.

"He’s a terrific player and he’s always got a smile on his face too, so he’s great to work with."

The Southwark-born wide player has been lent to the League One side until January and scored in his sole appearance for the Palace first team against Newcastle in the cup.
