# Crystal Palace: Fans react as several youngsters sign new contracts

**Crystal Palace have signed seven Under-23 players to new contracts at Selhurst Park, as confirmed on the [club’s official website](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/academy/seven-under-23s-sign-extensions-with-palace/2021-08-16/), much to the delight of many Eagles supporters on Twitter.**

In a season of much upheaval in south London following the arrival of Patrick Vieira as manager and an [influx of new signings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/crystal-palace/transfers/verein/873), Palace have a very different look about them as the 2021/22 campaign takes shape.

Continuity has been a rare commodity in recent times at the club, although news stemming from the club suggests that it isn’t quite all-change around Selhurst Park.

The Eagles have tied down seven development players to new contracts in the form of Jake O’Brien, Jay Rich-Baghuelou, David Boateng, Luke Dreher, Sean Robertson, Sion Spence and James Taylor \[[cpfc.co.uk](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/academy/seven-under-23s-sign-extensions-with-palace/2021-08-16/)\].

O’Brien has put pen to paper on a permanent deal at Crystal Palace from Cork City on an undisclosed fee following a successful loan spell in London earlier this year \[[Irish Examiner](https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-40360481.html)\].
