Palace sign goalkeeper Benitez on free transfer

Crystal Palace have signed Argentina goalkeeper Walter Benitez from PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer.

The 32-year-old will move to Selhurst Park when his PSV contract expires on 1 July.

Benitez was an ever-present in PSV's league campaign as they won the Eredivisie title, finishing a point clear of Ajax.

He started 11 of PSV's 12 Champions League fixtures last term as they reached the last 16, where they were defeated 9-3 on aggregate by Arsenal.

Benitez will compete with Palace's current first-choice keeper Dean Henderson and back-up Remi Matthews in south London.
