Youth and Crawley loan

On 7 February 2014, Kaikai joined League One side Crawley Town on an initial one-month loan along with Hiram Boateng.[5] He made his senior debut on the 25th when he came on as a substitute for Andy Drury in the 33rd minute of a 1–1 draw away to Swindon Town.[6] On 7 March, he extended his loan with Crawley until 5 April.[7] After making five appearances for the club, two being starts, Kaikai returned to his parent club upon expiry of his loan spell.[8]

2014–15: debut and loan to Cambridge

On 24 September 2014, Kaikai made his Crystal Palace debut in the third round of the League Cup, replacing Jonathan Williams in the 80th minute of the match against Newcastle United at Selhurst Park. He equalised in added time to send the game into extra time, which the Eagles lost 2–3.[9][10]

On 27 November 2014, Kaikai joined League Two club Cambridge United, on loan until 3 January 2015.[11] Two days later, Kaikai made his debut for the club, assisting Liam Hughes in a 2–1 win over AFC Wimbledon at the Kingsmeadow Stadium.[12] Kaikai scored his first goal of his loan on 16 December in the FA Cup second round replay, the only goal of a win at Mansfield Town.[13] He signed his first professional contract with Palace on 29 December 2014.[14]

On 16 January 2015, Kaikai's loan at Cambridge was extended until the end of the season.[15] The next day, he scored his first league goal, in a 4–0 win over Newport County at the Abbey Stadium.[16] Kaikai scored a brace on 18 April, in a 3–1 home win over Mansfield.[17] He returned to Palace in the first week of May.[18] He won Palace's Vice-President's Young Player or the Year Award, and the Development Player of the Year Award on 13 May.[19] Ahead of the Premier League match against Liverpool three days later, Kaikai was among several youngsters to make a trip, but was not included either in the starting line-up or substitution bench.[20]

2015–16: loans to Shrewsbury and league debut

The following season, on 17 September 2015, Kaikai joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on a four-month loan deal.[21] He made his Shrewsbury debut as a 67th-minute substitute for Mat Sadler in a 1−0 home defeat to Crewe two days later,[22] and got his first goals for the club in a home victory against Colchester United on 10 October, scoring twice to put his team 3−2 and then eventually 4−2 ahead after they had trailed by two goals at half time.[23] After scoring in subsequent matches against Scunthorpe United and Bury, giving him four goals in five appearances, he won the PFA Fans Player of the Month award for October 2015 for League One.[24]

Kaikai was recalled to cover for injuries at his parent club on 23 December,[25] rejoining Shrewsbury for a further loan deal until the end of the season in March 2016.[26] He scored four times in the first four games of his second loan, including two first-half strikes in a 2–1 draw at Bury on 19 March which earned him a place in The Football League's Team of the Week.[27] He finished the season as Shrewsbury's top scorer, with 12 goals, before being recalled again by his parent club on 3 May.[28]
