Palace sign goalkeeper Benitez on free transfer

Walter Benitez from PSV Eindhoven has been free agent for Crystal Palace.

When his PSV contract expires on July 1st, the 32-year-old will relocate to Selhurst Park.

Benitez was a constant presence throughout PSV’s league campaign, helping them retain their lead over Ajax.

He started 11 of PSV’s 12 Champions League games before being defeated by Arsenal 9-3 overall in their final game.

In south London, Benitez will compete with Remi Matthews and Dean Henderson, the Palace’s current first-choice goalkeeper.

Walter, along with Dean and Remi, will add even more experience, competition, and quality to our goalkeeping department, according to Palace chairman Steve Parish.
