Crystal Palace have signed goalkeeper Walter Benitez from PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer.

The 32-year-old played every game of PSV’s title-winning Eredivisie campaign last season and will join the Eagles at the start of next month.

Benitez is expected to serve as understudy to current Palace number one Dean Henderson, alongside current back-up Remi Matthews.

Palace chairman Steve Parish said: “Walter is an excellent addition to our squad, bringing further quality, experience and competition to our goalkeeping department alongside Dean and Remi.

“We look forward to welcoming Walter to South London next month as we continue our preparations towards what promises to be a busy season, competing on multiple fronts, in 2025-26.”

Benitez has won one cap for Argentina and spent six years in France playing for Nice before his move to the Netherlands.
