PalaceWhips in five crosses
Khalaili recorded one shot (zero on goal) and five crosses (zero accurate) in Friday's 4-1 defeat to Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 68th minute.
Analysis: Khalaili was handed the start on the right flank for the first time since joining Palace, as the midfielder took over Daniel Munoz's spot on the right flank due to transfer rumors. He would do well to record five crosses while adding two interceptions, two clearances and 10 tackles during an active match. He will likely continue in the starting spot moving forward, as Daniel Munoz appears to have a foot out the door.
Signs with Crystal Palace
Khalaili signed a long term contract with Crystal Palace through 2031, joining from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, according to the club. Chairman Steve Parish said "We are very excited to have completed this signing and we are delighted that Anan has chosen to continue his journey with Crystal Palace."
Analysis: Khalaili scored three goals in the Champions League while helping Union SG win their first top flight title in 90 years, later adding a Belgian Cup last season, having come through Maccabi Haifa's ranks with 52 appearances and 15 goals, including a decisive strike in the 2023 Israel Super Cup. The 21 year old, capable of playing at full back or winger, has earned 16 caps for Israel, and now begins the next chapter of his career in the Premier League.
