Utah-born Gozo lands club-record move to Crystal Palace

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.
