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