Premier League side, Crystal Palace has completed the signing of Japan midfielder, Daichi Kamada on a two-year contract.

Kamada, 27, joins from Italian club Lazio on a free transfer after a year in Serie A.

Kamada’s move to Palace sees him reunite with his former manager Oliver Glasner.

Glasner coached Kamada when he was in charge of Eintracht Frankfurt and the pair won the Europa League together in 2021.

“I am looking forward to testing myself in the Premier League, and hopefully the club and I can achieve all of our objectives together,” said Kamada.

He scored a total of 40 goals and recorded 33 assists in 179 appearances in Frankfurt before moving to Lazio.

Kamada has 33 caps for Japan, including four appearances at the 2022 World Cup.

“Daichi is a truly exceptional talent,” said Palace chairman Steve Parish.

“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.“
