Steve Parish Crystal Palace
Chris Richards has said he is “really excited” to have joined Crystal Palace and says the project of the club attracted him to south London.
Chris Richards said: “I grew up watching the Premier League and grew up of course watching [Wilfried] Zaha, so it’ll be cool to spend some time on the field with them [the Palace players] and be a part of this historic club. I’m really excited for it. The kind of project I’ve seen [attracted me]. It’s a lot of young players but also young players who have a lot of fight. Palace is a club that seems like they’re always fighting.”
Meanwhile, Palace chairman
Steve Parish said: “Chris is a hugely talented young player, and he brings a lot of experience at a high level for his age, as well being an established International for the USA national side. I had the great pleasure of spending some time with him and his family yesterday and I know he will be a great fit for the club and I’m sure he will become a firm fans’ favourite.”
