AFC Wimbledon have signed Crystal Palace forward Kwesi Appiah on loan for the rest of the season.

The 23-year-old has made 10 appearances for the Eagles since his switch from Margate in 2012 and has spent time with Aldershot, Yeovil Town, Notts County and, more recently, Cambridge United to gain experience.

Dons boss Neal Ardley told Dons Player: “Kwesi has been on our radar all season. He scored 10 goals at Cambridge United earlier this season and he has played recently for Notts County.

"We had been looking to try and strengthen in this area because we are without players up front at the moment. Charlie Wyke is set to go back soon, Charlie Sheringham is out on loan, Jack Midson is now suspended and Danny Hylton has been ill.

“When we realised that Kwesi was back at Palace and available we worked hard to bring him in this week. He is quick, direct and is a good finisher.

"Kwesi will bring that directness and he’s a strong boy. He offers something different from what we’ve got up front at the current time.”
