Reports: Zavier Gozo on verge of joining Crystal Palace


Zavier Gozo’s rapid rise in Major League Soccer has reportedly led to a potential move to the English Premier League.

Gozo is in advanced talks to join Crystal Palace from Real Salt Lake, The Athletic reported Tuesday. Real Salt Lake is set to receive close to $15 million for Gozo, who is one of the top young talents in MLS.

Once the teams reach a final agreement, Gozo is expected to fly to London on Friday to complete the move, according to the report.

Gozo made his MLS debut back in 2023 and has since been a key player for RSL over the past two years. The dynamic attacker has contributed six goals and five assists in 16 appearances under Pablo Mastroeni this season.

His stellar play in 2026 earned him a nod to the MLS All-Star Game in July.

Gozo has continued to work his way up through the U.S. youth national team ranks and is a top prospect for Mauricio Pochettino this fall. He’s earned 27 caps to date between multiple youth national teams, with three of those coming for the USMNT U-23’s.

A move to Crystal Palace will join Gozo with USMNT defender Chris Richards, who looks to remain a key starter under new manager Pierre Sage.
