OFFICIAL: Lerma set to join Crystal Palace in July

Crystal Palace have already started to strengthen their squad for next season as Jefferson Lerma will join the Eagles in July and will play for them until 2026.

"Jefferson is a strong addition to our squad. He is a proven performer at Premier League level, and his combative and competitive nature will endear him to the Palace fans. We look forward to welcoming him to the club on 1st July in preparation for our eleventh consecutive season in the top-flight," chairman Steve Parish claimed.

The Colombian will leave Bournemouth at the end of June, having scored five goals in 37 competitive matches for the Cherries this season.

"I am very happy and excited by this new opportunity. Crystal Palace has good players and a good team, and I want to help with every objective the club has next season," the 28-year-old said.
