Crystal Palace complete signing of Marseille winger | OneFootball

Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of Ismaïla Sarr from Marseille for a fee of £12.6m (€15m).

The winger has signed a five-year contract at Selhurst Park, and will act as a direct replacement for Michael Olise, who departed earlier in the summer in a big-money move to Bayern Munich.

The 26-year-old only joined the Ligue 1 club last summer from Watford, scoring five goals and providing six assists in 35 appearances, but has now returned to England, where he was previously linked with Palace and several other clubs.

Sarr, who also has 64 caps for Senegal, becomes Oliver Glasner’s third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Daichi Kamada and Chadi Riad, as the Austrian looks to put a further stamp on a side he revolutionised last season.

The fee recouped for Sarr could allow Marseille, and their new coach Roberto De Zerbi, to make another move in the market.
