Crystal Palace sign exciting defender Chadi Riad | OneFootball

Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of young defender Chadi Riad.

Riad may only be 20 but has already impressed during a load spell Real Betis after coming through the Barcelona academy.

Riad has also played three times for Morocco and joins the south London side on a deal until 2029.

“I’m really happy to join Crystal Palace,” he said.

“I was interested in coming here because of the history of the club, and the league in which it plays. They have been telling me how they played this year and I think it complements perfectly the way I play.

“The club has high-level players who are young and I have come here to follow their same trajectory, to grow as they have grown.”
