One of the most promising young U.S. players will reportedly be heading to the English Premier League.
Zavier Gozo is set for a transfer from MLS side Real Salt Lake to Crystal Palace in a deal worth $15 million.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder made the MLS All-Star team this season and has already made 50 career appearances across all competitions for RSL, scoring 10 goals with eight assists.

While he has yet to make a senior appearance for the U.S. men’s national team, he was considered for the 2026 World Cup squad. While he wasn’t selected for Mauricio Pochettino’s 26-man roster, Gozo is expected to be one of the USMNT’s rising youngsters.
At Palace, he will join USA defender Chris Richards on a retooled roster under new manager Pierre Sage. The south London side won the UEFA Conference League trophy last season under Oliver Glasner, who left his post as manager earlier this summer.
The Athletic first reported Gozo’s upcoming move to Palace.
