Crystal Palace announce first January signing – with defender joining from Genk

Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of right-back Daniel Munoz from Belgian Pro League side Genk.

The 27-year-old has penned a deal until 2027 – with an option for a further 12 months – at Selhurst Park.

He becomes Palace’s first signing of the January transfer window and could make his debut next Saturday against rivals Brighton.

“It’s a pleasure for me to be here at such a historic club, such a big club as Crystal Palace,” Munoz said.

“I’m very excited, very happy, and I can’t wait to be on the pitch.”

Eagles chairman Steve Parish said: “We are delighted to welcome a player of Daniel’s quality and character to the club.

“He has experience at the highest level for club and country, and he possesses an impressive record going forward for a full-back. I am certain his ability, athleticism and tenacity will be a huge boost to the squad for the remainder of the season, and beyond.”
