Zavier Gozo Set to Join Crystal Palace After Medical

A completed move would bring about $15 million to Real Salt Lake, underscoring rising Premier League demand for young MLS academy talent.

Overview

  • Reports say Zavier Gozo is in London for a medical Monday as Crystal Palace and Real Salt Lake finalize a transfer that could be completed this week.
  • The fee is reported at roughly $15 million, which would be a club‑record sale for Real Salt Lake.
  • Gozo, 19, has broken out this season with six goals and five assists in 16 MLS matches, giving him 11 goal contributions so far in 2026.
  • Real Salt Lake preferred to keep Gozo for the season, but sources say the player pushed to move this summer and the clubs reached terms.
  • The transfer follows a growing pattern of young MLS academy graduates moving to Europe and could weaken RSL’s midseason attack while adding a young winger and U.S. prospect to Palace’s squad.
