Crystal Palace are in advanced talks to sign 19-year-old American wing-back Zavier Gozo from MLS side Real Salt Lake for a fee expected to be around $15 million (£11.1m). Sources briefed on the negotiations told The Athletic that while an agreement has not yet been reached, discussions are trending positively. Gozo, a USA under-23 international who narrowly missed the 2026 World Cup squad, has made clear his desire to move to Europe this summer after a breakout MLS season in which he scored six goals and provided five assists in 16 games. Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid had previously shown interest in January. Palace, who recently appointed Pierre Sage as head coach and qualified for the Europa League, see Gozo as a young talent to develop, potentially utilizing him in a forward role where the club lacked depth last season. Fellow American Chris Richards is already at the club.
