Crystal Palace have signed England goalkeeper Dean Henderson from Premier League rivals Manchester United, the London club announced Thursday.
The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract. No fee has been disclosed for his move to Selhurst Park, but British media reports estimated the deal at some £15 million ($19 million, 17.5 million euros) with a potential further £5 million in add-ons.
“Crystal Palace are delighted to confirm the transfer of goalkeeper Dean Henderson from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee,” read a statement on the club’s website, adding: “The 26-year-old England international has signed a five-year contract with the club, and becomes Palace’s third senior arrival of the summer transfer window alongside Jefferson Lerma and Matheus França.”
On joining the Eagles, Henderson said: “I’m absolutely delighted and buzzing to be here. I can’t wait to get started,” adding: “This club has got great fans and has a lot of top players who are hungry to succeed. There’s something being built here, and I really want to be a part of it.”
Whilst accumulating 29 appearances for the Red Devils – playing in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League – Henderson has also starred across loan spells at Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest in the top flight. He secured the Championship Golden Glove as the Blades won promotion in 2018-19, winning the club’s Young Player of the Year award, before collecting 24 clean sheets in 67 Premier League games over the last four years, spent in Sheffield, Manchester and Nottingham.
Henderson was part of the England squad that won the U20 World Cup in Slovakia in June 2017 and made his senior debut in a 3-0 win over the Republic of Ireland in November 2020.
