Crystal Palace have added notable reinforcements to their roster, confirming the permanent acquisitions of seasoned internationals Ben Chilwell and Quinten Timber. Additionally, Chilean winger Dario Osorio has arrived at the club on a temporary basis.
Chilwell makes his way back to Selhurst Park from RC Strasbourg, following a prior loan spell with Palace during the latter part of the 2024-25 season. In a separate move, Timber has left Marseille to join the Eagles, putting pen to paper on a five-year agreement.
Ben Chilwell rejoins Crystal Palace
The English full-back shared his enthusiasm after finalizing his return to Palace, a club where he celebrated FA Cup glory in May 2025.
“It feels fantastic to be back,” Chilwell stated. “It is great to see familiar faces around here, and I am eager to reconnect with the squad, the supporters, and get back to work.”
The defender, who has earned 21 caps for England, has previous stints with Chelsea, Leicester City, and Huddersfield Town. He moved to Strasbourg from Chelsea in September 2025 and spent the last campaign in Ligue 1 before securing his switch back to Selhurst Park.
Quinten Timber signs long-term deal with Palace
Dutch international Quinten Timber has likewise finalized a permanent transfer to Crystal Palace from Marseille, marking another key addition for the Conference League champions.
The 25-year-old has agreed to a five-year contract with the Eagles following his departure from the French outfit.
Timber has featured 13 times for the Netherlands and earned a spot in their roster for the upcoming World Cup this summer. He is also the sibling of Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber.
Crystal Palace brings in Dario Osorio on loan
Palace also completed the loan signing of Chilean winger Dario Osorio from FC Midtjylland, who will spend the season with the club.
The Eagles managed to wrap up the deals for Chilwell and Timber ahead of the Tuesday 23:00 BST cutoff by submitting necessary paperwork to the Premier League.
With these three arrivals, Crystal Palace have boosted their squad depth, securing Chilwell and Timber on permanent terms while adding Osorio on a loan arrangement from Midtjylland.
