Israeli Winger Anan Khalaili Hailed as Crystal Palace's Best Summer Signing
Israeli winger Anan Khalaili is making an impressive start at Crystal Palace, with the club's supporters already rating him as their top summer acquisition. The website "We Are Palace" awarded Khalaili a score of 9 out of 10 for his transfer, calling him potentially the "signing of the summer" in the Premier League. They highlighted that Inter Milan's near-acquisition of the player underscores his talent, and Palace secured a remarkable deal.
The publication noted that Khalaili's arrival refreshes the right wing-back position, offering a promising young option compared to the departing Daniel Muñoz, who was sold to Nottingham Forest for £22 million. "We Are Palace" suggested that Palace profited £1 million in this player exchange, facilitating a generational shift in the position.
Khalaili, who impressed in his full debut against Manchester City, is expected to make a significant impact in the Premier League once he fully adapts. "We Are Palace" editor-in-chief Billy Meyers praised the club's business, stating that Khalaili and fellow signing Dario Osorio, acquired for under £50 million combined, are among Europe's top young talents.
Khalaili is set to play another match this Saturday against Fulham, with both teams seeking their first points of the 2026/2027 season.
