After a wonderful Eberechi Eze goal against Manchester City on 17 May, Crystal Palace were able to secure their first-ever major trophy by winning the FA Cup. If the men in charge play their cards right, this could be the first of many trophies to come.
In order to use this as a stepping stone, Crystal Palace faced a big summer. Their cup final hero, Eze, was always destined to move on, but they did manage to keep hold of Marc Guehi at the 11th hour. In terms of their other transfer business, let's take a deeper look below.
Crystal Palace new signings in summer 2025
Yeremy Pino
Yeremy Pino was Crystal Palace's biggest summer signing at €30m and is the man being tasked with replacing Eberechi Eze at Selhurst Park. Pino hasn't started his tenure at the Eagles as expected, but it is still very much early days, and the expectation remains that he will become a key player for the club.
Jaydee Canvot
Jaydee Canvot was brought in for €23m, but he was always going to be one for the future. At the age of 19, a settling-in period for the centre-back is necessary, but he has shown glimpses of his potential in cup appearances for the Eagles. The hope will be that he gets up to speed with English football by the end of the season, when Marc Guehi departs on a free transfer.
Borna Sosa
Borna Sosa was brought in for just €2.3m from Ajax, but the Croatian was only ever brought in to act as cover at full-back. Opportunities have been few and far between, but he didn't help his cause for more starts by getting sent off against Lanarca in the Europa League.
Walter Benitez
Walter Benitez was picked up on a free transfer after the goalkeeper departed PSV. Again, Benitez is nothing more than an understudy to Dean Henderson but he is an improvement on what Palace previously had.
