Grabban moves north

Last updated : 31 August 2007 By Nik Taylor
Young striker Lewis Grabban has signed for Scottish Premier League side Motherwell on loan until January.

The 19-year-old striker has made 11 first team appearances for Palace since making his debut at the end of the 2005/6 season, but has a number of established strikers ahead of him in the pecking order at Selhurst.

The Eagles' signing of Besian Idrizaj on loan will have made his chances of regular first team football even more remote, so Grabban will be hoping he can make an impact north of the border to put himself back in Peter Taylor's plans.
