Ben Chilwell rejoins Crystal Palace on permanent deal
Crystal Palace have re-signed England international Ben Chilwell on a permanent deal from RC Strasbourg.
The defender, 29, returns to Selhurst Park having won the FA Cup while on loan with the Eagles during the second half of the 2024-25 campaign.
"It's amazing to be back," said Chilwell. "It's nice to see some familiar faces, and I'm just really excited to get back in, see the boys and the fans – and get going again."
The Conference League winners were able to complete the signing of Chilwell after Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline after submitting a deal sheet to the Premier League.
Chilwell - who has been capped 21 times by England - has previously played for Chelsea, Leicester City and Huddersfield Town.
He spent last season with Strasbourg after joining the Ligue 1 side from Chelsea in September 2025.
"With his experience and quality, Ben played a huge part in us winning our first trophy last year," added Palace chairman Steve Parish.
