Timber joined OM from Feyenoord for €4.5m last winter and made 17 appearances for the Ligue 1 side.

The 13-cap international was in Ronald Koeman’s 2026 World Cup squad and featured twice for the Netherlands in America this summer.

Palace chairman Steve Parish said Timber has top-level club and international experience and that the club are confident his leadership, tenacity and ability will flourish in the Premier League. Jurriën Timber’s twin brother could make his Premier League debut this weekend against Fulham.
