Crystal Palace Signs Ismaila Sarr from Marseille

Crystal Palace has officially signed Senegal striker Ismaila Sarr from Marseille on a five-year contract for a reported fee of around £12.5 million. The 26-year-old, who previously played for Watford in the Premier League, expressed his excitement about joining the club and contributing to their project. Manager Oliver Glasner highlighted Sarr's scoring capabilities, noting his successful track record at both club and international levels, including winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal. Sarr's arrival comes as Palace seeks to fill the gap left by Michael Olise's departure to Bayern Munich. Additionally, Palace has made other signings this summer, including Japanese midfielder Daichi Kamada and Moroccan defender Chadi Riad. Sarr aims to make a significant impact at Selhurst Park as the team looks to improve upon their previous season's performance.
