Crystal Palace has officially signed Anan Khalaili, the Israeli international winger, on a contract that extends until 2031. The transfer fee for the 21-year-old is reported to be £21 million.

Career Highlights

Khalaili joins Palace from Union Saint-Gilloise, where he played a pivotal role in the club's historic achievements, including winning their first Belgian Pro League title in 90 years and securing a Belgian Cup since his arrival in 2024. His experience in European competitions will be beneficial for Palace's upcoming Europa League campaign, having netted three of his six goals last season in the Champions League.

Player's Ambitions

Expressing his excitement about the move, Khalaili stated, "I have followed the Premier League for a long time, it's a new challenge for me. And Crystal Palace I like, because I have followed them for a long time. They have deserved to win three trophies and I want to do more."

Khalaili is the fifth new signing for manager Pierre Sage this season, joining defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oscar Mingueza, who both arrived on free transfers, as well as Dwight McNeil, who was acquired in a swap deal for Brennan Johnson, and Evann Guessand, who returns on a season-long loan from Aston Villa.
