Palace make Israel international Khalaili their fourth summer signing

Syndicated reporting provided by Stats Perform and reviewed by the SoccerNews editorial team.

Crystal Palace have announced the signing of Israel international Anan Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise, making him their fourth arrival of the transfer window.

Ahead of their first campaign under Pierre Sage, last season’s Conference League winners had already brought in Dwight McNeil, Oscar Mingueza and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

And they have now bolstered their wide options with a £21m deal for 21-year-old Khalaili, who has spent the last two campaigns in Belgium.

He scored six goals for Union SG in 2025-26, three of which came in the Champions League as they narrowly failed to make it out of the league stage.

Khalaili, who can play in the frontline or as a wing-back, told Palace’s website: “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.”

Palace will compete in the Europa League this season, the competition they initially qualified for by winning the FA Cup in 2025, before being thrown out of the 2025-26 edition due to a breach of multi-club ownership rules.

The Eagles, who also won the Community Shield last year, will face Everton in their opening game of the Premier League season next Saturday, at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
