Yeremy Pino: Spanish International Makes Premier League Switch to Crystal Palace

Palace Secure Exciting Spanish Talent

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of highly-rated attacker Yeremy Pino from Villarreal. The 22-year-old Spain international has signed a five-year deal in South London, having proven himself as one of La Liga’s most exciting young talents in recent seasons. The transfer was completed on 29 August 2025, with the Premier League club paying £26 million for the winger’s services. Pino was assigned the number 10 shirt, replacing the outgoing Eberechi Eze. This high-profile signing demonstrates Palace’s ambition to compete at the highest level and their commitment to bringing elite talent to Selhurst Park.

A Career Built on European Success

By the end of his breakthrough campaign in 2020/21, under Unai Emery, he had become the youngest Spanish player to ever start a major European final, and the youngest to win the Europa League, lifting the trophy after defeating Manchester United in Gdańsk aged 18 years and 218 days. He also made history in February 2022, when becoming the youngest ever player to net a first-half hat-trick in Spain, scoring four as the Yellow Submarine routed Espanyol 5-1. Pino went on to accrue an impressive 45 goal contributions in 175 appearances for Villarreal, as well as three goals in 15 appearances for the senior Spanish side.

Early Impact at Palace

On 2 October, Pino registered his first two goal contributions for Palace, assisting both Daniel Muñoz and Eddie Nketiah in a 2–0 away win over Dynamo Kyiv in the UEFA Conference League. Pino scored his first goal for Crystal Palace in their 3–0 win over Liverpool in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on 29 October. His immediate impact highlights his quality and adaptability to English football, offering Palace supporters genuine excitement about what the Spanish international can bring to the team.

What This Means for Palace Fans

The acquisition of Yeremy Pino represents a significant statement of intent from Crystal Palace. With European pedigree, international experience, and a proven track record in one of Europe’s top leagues, Pino brings the quality and creativity needed to help Palace compete on multiple fronts. His versatility as an attacking midfielder and winger offers manager Oliver Glasner tactical flexibility, whilst his age and five-year contract suggest this is an investment in the club’s long-term future. As Palace look to establish themselves as a force in the Premier League, Pino’s arrival could prove transformative in their pursuit of success.
