Crystal Palace is finalizing the transfer of Real Salt Lake winger Zavier Gozo, a source confirmed to ESPN. Palace will pay RSL $15 million with a sell-on percentage between 20% and 25%. The Athletic first reported Gozo's imminent arrival at the London club.

Gozo, 19, is viewed as a budding star within U.S. soccer. This season he has tallied six goals and five assists and was named to the MLS All-Star team. A product of RSL's academy, he has made 50 career appearances, scoring 10 goals and adding eight assists. At the international level, Gozo was part of the U.S. U-20 squad that reached the quarterfinals at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup, scoring the opener in a 3-0 group stage victory over France.

Gozo made a late push for the senior World Cup squad but missed out. He is expected to be called up later this year as manager Mauricio Pochettino looks to revitalize his squad. Crystal Palace, under manager Pierre Sage, has seen several high-profile departures including Marc Guéhi, Eberechi Eze, and Maxence Lacroix. U.S. defender Chris Richards remains a key piece.
