Anan Khalaili at the summit: The ten biggest transfers in the history of Israeli football

Anan Khalaili made history today by signing with Crystal Palace, completing the most expensive transfer for an Israeli player ever by a significant margin. The Premier League club paid Union Saint-Gilloise 25 million euros — 11 million euros more than the previous record holder, Moanes Dabbur.

As recalled, Khalaili was on the verge of signing with Inter earlier this summer for a similar amount, but the deal fell through after he failed to pass medical examinations in Italy.
