Anan

Crystal Palace have signed Israel international Anan Khalaili on a deal which runs until 2031.

The Eagles have reportedly paid a £21m fee for the 21-year-old, who can play as a full-back or winger.

He arrives from Union Saint-Gilloise where, since joining in 2024, he helped the side win their first Belgian Pro League title in 90 years and a Belgian Cup.

Khalaili will add European experience to Palace’s Europa League campaign, having scored three of his six goals last season in the Champions League.

“I have followed the Premier League for a long time, it’s a new challenge for me,” Khalaili said.

“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 becomes the fifth addition to Pierre Sage’s side.

Defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oscar Mingueza each signed on a free, while Dwight McNeil arrived in exchange for Brennan Johnson and Evann Guessand returns on a season-long loan from Aston Villa.

Crystal Palace are closing in on the signing of Anan Khalaili from Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise.

The 21-year-old is expected to complete his move to the Eagles in the coming week with the Athletic reporting that the fee is in the region of £21m.

Khalaili, who operates on the right of midfield, made 52 appearances in all competitions for Union SG last season, scoring six goals and registering six assists.

The Israeli international played for Union SG in the Champions League and will bring European experience to the Eagles as they prepare for their Europa League campaign.

Palace have been active in the transfer market and have completed the signings of defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oscar Mingueza on free transfers.

BBC Sport reported last week that Palace are also set to sign 19-year-old Real Salt Lake winger Zavier Gozo while also revealing that there was interest in Brennan Johnson.

Johnson is now set to complete a move to Everton as part of a swap deal involving Dwight McNeil moving in the opposite direction.
