Back to Crystal Palace after loan Esse reached the end of his loan to Coventry City, returning to Crystal Palace for the 2026/27 campaign, the loan club announced.

Impact Esse helped Coventry achieve promotion to the Premier League with two goals and one assist over 17 matches played (eight starts) during the previous EFL season. The 21-year-old has already seen action at the top level and could look for more involvement if he stays for a second stint with his parent team. However, he'll need to compete with more established players such as Ismaila Sarr and Yeremy Pino.

Impact Esse was left out of the match squad after his poor performance in the Carabao Cup game midweek. The young midfielder will have to prove to his coach that he has the level to be reintegrated with the senior squad if he wants to see more minutes in the Premier League, as he has only logged 24 minutes off the bench this season against Nottingham Forest.
