Crystal Palace Set to Sign Israeli Defender-Midfielder Enan Halili for £20 Million
Israeli footballer Enan Halili is poised to join Crystal Palace in the English Premier League after a failed transfer to Inter Milan earlier this summer due to medical test issues. Halili, who played the past two seasons at Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium, is expected to sign with Crystal Palace, a club competing in the Premier League and the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. Reports from Belgium and the UK indicate that Crystal Palace will pay around £20 million for Halili, with additional performance-based bonuses tied to goals, assists, and trophies. Previously linked to Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace has emerged as the leading contender to secure his transfer. Last season, Halili delivered a strong performance primarily as a defender, scoring three goals and providing five assists, helping Union Saint-Gilloise finish second in the Belgian league and qualify for the Champions League qualifiers. He was notably absent from Union Saint-Gilloise's squad for their opening match against Westerlo, signaling the imminent move to England.
