Crystal Palace have completed the permanent signings of experienced internationals Ben Chilwell and Quinten Timber.

England defender Chilwell returns to Selhurst Park from RC Strasbourg after spending the second half of the 2024-25 campaign on loan with the Eagles.

Netherlands international Timber arrives from Marseille and has signed a five-year deal with the Conference League winners.

Palace also signed Chile winger Dario Osorio from FC Midtjylland on a season-long loan.

"It's amazing to be back," said Chilwell, who won the FA Cup with Palace in May 2025.

"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."

Palace were able to complete both deals after Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline by submitting deal sheets 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.

Timber, 25, is the brother of Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber. He has been capped 13 times by the Netherlands and was part of their squad for this summer's World Cup.
