Crystal Palace have signed Barcelona's Morocco international defender Chadi Riad on a long-term contract, the Premier League club said on Friday.

The 20-year-old joins Palace after spending a season on loan at Real Betis for whom he played 30 times in all competitions.

"The club has high-level players who are young and I have come here to follow their same trajectory, to grow as they have grown," Riad said in a club statement.
