Crystal Palace completed the signing of 22-year-old Yeremy Pino from Villarreal in a deal reported to be worth up to £26m, with Pino signing a five-year contract. Pino recorded 13 goal involvements (four goals, nine assists) in 35 appearances in 2024-25 and created 43 chances, helping Villarreal qualify for the Champions League. Pino is Palace's third summer arrival after Walter Benitez and Borna Sosa. Crystal Palace are preparing for potential bids for Marc Guehi and are exploring targets including Jaydee Canvot and Manuel Akanji ahead of the transfer deadline.
Pino, who has put pen to paper on a five-year deal with Oliver Glanser's side, arrives at Selhurst Park aiming to fill the gap left by Eberechi Eze in the final third. The 22-year-old bolsters Palace's attacking ranks following a stellar season in LaLiga in 2024-25, with his performances helping Villarreal qualify for the Champions League. Indeed, he recorded 13 goal involvements (four goals, nine assists) in 35 appearances across all competitions, the fourth-highest tally in Villarreal's squad.
Pino also created 43 chances for his team-mates, a total only bettered by Sergi Cardona (45) and Alex Baena (95), with the latter joining Atletico Madrid this summer. "I'm very happy to be here," said Pino after signing. "It is a dream of mine to come to the Premier League, to a historic club like Crystal Palace, and I hope that I can help the team." Pino becomes just Palace's third summer signing, after Walter Benitez's arrival from PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer and defender Borna Sosa's switch from Ajax.
