Crystal Palace confirm Lazio midfielder signing on free transfer
Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Daichi Kamada on a free transfer following the midfielder’s contract with Lazio expiring.
The 27-year-old won the Europa League with boss Oliver Glasner at Eintracht Frankfurt, making 93 appearances and recording 37 goal contributions.
Kamada has 31 caps for Japan to his name and has penned a two-year deal at Selhurst Park.
He joins Chadi Riad as the second signing through the door at SE25 this summer. Riad, who spent last season on loan at Real Betis, joined in a ÂŁ15million move from Barcelona.
On joining Palace, Kamada said: “I’m excited to be joining Crystal Palace, and to be working with Oliver – who is a coach I know well – again.
“I am looking forward to testing myself in the Premier League, and hopefully the club and I can achieve all of our objectives together.”
Chairman Steve Parish: “Daichi is a truly exceptional talent. He has been one of Europe’s best attacking midfielders in recent seasons and his experience, technical quality and commitment mark him out as an excellent addition to our already talented squad.
“I am delighted that Daichi has chosen to join Crystal Palace from the many options he had and work once more with Oliver. I am certain Palace fans will relish watching him in the weeks, months and years to come at Selhurst Park.”
