In late April 2023, he went on trial with fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace, scoring the winning penalty in a 5–3 penalty shoot-out win against the youth team of Valencia in the Premier League International Cup semi-final.[6][7] On 16 June 2023, Chelsea announced that Abu would leave the club when his contract expired at the end of June.[8]
