Barnet are hoping to strengthen their attacking options with the addition of Crystal Palace striker Ibra Sekajja on a month’s loan.

The 20-year-old, who signed his professional deal in 2011, recently completed a spell with League One promotion-chasers Milton Keynes Dons where he made one substitute appearance.

The Ugandan-born marksman made an impressive start to his Palace career by scoring with his first touch in a draw at Hull City in 2011.

Sekajja, who also scored 24 goals for the Under 18s this term, has come through the Academy system.

The Bees (Barnet) are 20th in League Two and manager Edgar Davids is keen to increase their output in front of goal as they are the division’s second-lowest scorers.

The young Sekajja has no relation with ex-Cranes captian Ibrahim Sekagya.
