Israeli Winger Anan Khalaili Hailed as Crystal Palace's Best Summer Signing

Israeli winger Anan Khalaili is making a strong impression at Crystal Palace, with the club's fans and media praising his potential. Following an impressive debut against Manchester City, Khalaili is set to play another match against Fulham this Saturday, as both teams aim for their first points of the 2026/2027 season.

The website "We Are Palace" has awarded Khalaili the highest rating, a 9 out of 10, among the club's eleven new summer signings. The publication highlighted that Inter Milan's near-acquisition of Khalaili underscores his talent, and Crystal Palace's successful signing was a remarkable feat. They noted that Khalaili's arrival refreshes the right wing-back position, especially considering Daniel Muñoz's transfer to Nottingham Forest for £22 million, suggesting Palace profited £1 million while facilitating a generational shift in the position.

"We Are Palace" further suggested that Khalaili could "storm the Premier League" once he fully adapts, especially after his standout performance against Manchester City. Billy Meyers, the editor-in-chief of the website, lauded Khalaili and fellow signing Dario Osorio, stating that acquiring both for under £50 million represents a "phenomenal move" for two of Europe's top young talents.
