Crystal Palace youngster David Ozoh spoke about making his Premier League debut a year ago.

The talented youth product admits that he has experienced a dramatic change in his life over the past 12 months.

Ozoh is only 18 and has made six appearances off the bench in the league for Palace this term.

"[My life has] changed a lot," he told club media during an interview.

I can't really go out in Croydon too much anymore. I've got to watch where I go and the things I do, but I'm enjoying life now. I was prepared for it.

I get people are in uni and stuff, and it's crazy how I'm just playing in the Premier League. It's just weird. I feel like our lives are just completely different. I get [friends] telling me stuff about school, and all I'm thinking about is who I'm playing the next week.

They're telling me about assignments, and I just can't relate."
