Palace close to signing PSV goalkeeper Benitez

Benitez won his only cap for Argentina in March 2024

Crystal Palace are on the brink of signing PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Walter Benitez on a free transfer.

Benitez, whose contract with the Dutch club expires this month, has completed a medical and Palace will announce the signing once all the relevant documents have been completed.

The Argentina goalkeeper, 32, was an ever-present in PSV's league campaign as they won the Eredivisie title, beating Ajax to the trophy by a point.

Benitez started 11 of PSV's 12 Champions League fixtures last term as they reached the last 16, where they were defeated 9-3 on aggregate by Arsenal.

Benitez will compete with Palace's current first-choice keeper Dean Henderson, who started for England in last week's 3-1 friendly defeat to Senegal at the City Ground.
