Crystal Palace complete another summer signing as youngster joins

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of attacker Zavier Gozo from MLS side Real Salt Lake.

The 19-year-old has signed a five-year contract in south London, subject to international clearance, and becomes Palace’s sixth arrival of the summer transfer window.

The attacker has enjoyed a standout 2026 campaign, registering six goals and four assists in his first 16 league appearances of the season.

His performances earned him a place in the 2026 MLS All-Star Game and attracted interest from clubs in Europe.

Palace chairman Steve Parish is excited by the potential of their latest recruit.

“It is great to welcome such an exciting young talent to Crystal Palace Football Club,” Parish said.

“I am looking forward to seeing what Zavier can achieve with us during his time in South London.”

Gozo is relishing the opportunity to play Premier League football and believes Palace’s project was a major factor in his decision to move to England.

“I’m really looking forward to playing in the Premier League with Crystal Palace. It’s the dream of any footballer,” Gozo said.

“I’m excited by the people and the project they have going on here. I’ve seen a lot of it, and that’s what excites me about this club as well: the success that they’ve had.”
