Palace sign Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise
Crystal Palace sign Israel international Ana Khalaili on a deal which runs until 2031.
Crystal Palace have signed 21-year-old Israel international Anan Khalaili on a deal until 2031, reportedly paying £21m for the versatile defender and winger. The young talent, who can also play as a full-back, joins the Eagles from Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise, where he helped the team secure their first Belgian Pro League title in 90 years and a Belgian Cup in 2024.
Khalaili's addition provides Palace with valuable European experience, as he scored three of his six goals last season in the UEFA Champions League. The young player expressed his excitement about the new challenge, stating he has long admired Crystal Palace and their three trophy wins. Khalaili will bolster the squad, joining five other additions under manager Pierre Sage.
Defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oscar Mingueza signed for free, while Dwight McNeil arrived on a season-long loan from Aston Villa.
