MLS players Zavier Gozo (Real Salt Lake) and Lucas Herrington are linked with Premier League moves, including Gozo’s reported transfer to Crystal Palace, as MLS-to-EPL transfers headline a broader set of cross-league deals and a new transfer tracker feature.
Real Salt Lake sold homegrown forward Zavier Gozo to Crystal Palace for a club-record $15 million, highlighting the 19-year-old’s rapid rise from RSL’s academy to first-team duties (10 goals, 8 assists in about 18 months) and USMNT buzz. RSL credits Gozo’s work ethic and an academy overhaul begun under new ownership for shaping a path from Utah youth to Europe, while reiterating a broader philosophy of developing players in-house rather than buying. The club even points to potential internal replacements like Zach Booth as they push for a Western Conference top-four finish. Palace—described in the piece as the reigning UEFA Conference League champions—adds a versatile playmaker ahead of Mauricio Pochettino’s squad this autumn.
Crystal Palace completed a five-year, roughly $15 million transfer for American prospect Zavier Gozo from Real Salt Lake after a rapid rise and after missing out on this summer’s US World Cup squad; the move could accelerate his first-team exposure and boost his USMNT prospects ahead of the 2030 World Cup, with him training alongside US teammate Chris Richards at Palace.
