Hindolo Mustapha is being linked with a move from Crystal Palace’s Under-21 side to Championship club West Bromwich Albion, according to transfer listings monitored on 2 February 2026.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder, who holds both Sierra Leonean and English nationality, is currently registered with Palace U21 in Premier League 2 but has emerged as a rumoured target for West Brom as they survey development-squad markets. The reported probability of the switch is listed only as “?”, underlining that discussions are at a speculative stage and no agreement has been recorded.
Mustapha’s current market value is noted as “None” on the data source, a detail that is likely to fuel debate over his price tag and could, in some scenarios, prompt questions over whether he might become available as a low-cost or even free option if his situation at Palace changes. There is, however, no firm indication in the data that he is currently a free agent or that a contract termination is imminent.
The right-footed midfielder stands at 1.85m and operates primarily in an advanced role, having progressed through Crystal Palace’s youth structure. His pathway runs from Crystal Palace Youth to the club’s Under-18 side in 2022, before stepping up to the Under-21s in 2024. In August 2025 he moved on loan to 1.FC Nürnberg II in Germany, playing in the regional set-up there, before that spell was brought to an end with a return to Palace U21 at the end of December 2025.
No recent match data – such as opponents, exact dates, scorelines or individual performances – is listed in the available information, leaving scouts and fans to focus instead on his age profile, dual nationality and experience in both English youth football and the German system.
If West Brom decide to advance their interest, a move to the Championship could offer Mustapha a significant platform to turn this early-career rumour into a tangible step towards senior first-team football.
