TRANSFER TALK: CRYSTAL PALACE SIGN CAITLIN COSME FROM FC NANTES

Crystal Palace Women have completed the signing of Puerto Rico international Caitlin Cosme from French club FC Nantes until 2027 subject to international clearance.

She arrived in Nantes from Icelandic team UMF Stjarnan in July 2024 after making 12 apperances and scoring three goals for the club and spent two seasons in the Première Ligue, helping them Canaris to a seventh-place finish in 2024/25, and then a fourth-place finish in the following season.

She began her career in the United States, representing Duke University between 2017 and 2020, helping the Blue Devils winning the Atlantic Coast Coference in her first year before joining Orlando Pride in the 2022 National Women's Super League (NWSL) draft first round.

Cosme also represented the US at youth international level before switching to Puerto Rico for the senior team.

Telling the club website, Palace head coach Jo Potter said: 'It's great to have Caitlin join us at Palace for our return to the top-flight. She will bring a lot of experience and quality to our backline in the WSL.'

Cosme added: 'Everyone has been so welcoming so far and I'm excited to just immerse myself in this club and in this community'.
