Transfer News: Crystal Palace Signs Jaydee Canvot for €27m

The Eagles signs a young new centre-back to their squad, filling the gap a day before Deadline Day.

The 19-year-old centre-back will fly to South London from Toulouse on €27m deal. Jaydee has appeared in 22 games for the French side last year. He is yet to undergo his medical tests.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on X, “Jaydee Canvot, set for medical later today as new Crystal Palace player. #CPFC sign him for €27m. Deal done with Toulouse, managed by former player Momo Sissoko, agent at Leading Sport Management. Exclusive story, confirmed.”

A product of Toulouse’s academy, Canvot has been praised for his maturity beyond his years. His ability to read the game, distribute under pressure, and even step into midfield when required fits seamlessly with Palace’s evolving tactical style.

With the Eagles looking to secure a strong finish in the Premier League 2025/26 season, Canvot’s arrival is seen as both an investment in the present and the future. His signing also highlights Palace’s ambition to compete with mid-table rivals in securing Europe’s most exciting young talents.

The defender will become the latest in a line of French prospects to move to England, following in the footsteps of compatriots who have successfully transitioned from Ligue 1 to the Premier League.

If the medical goes smoothly, Palace fans could see Canvot registered before Deadline Day, making him available for selection in upcoming fixtures.
