Crystal Palace has completed their third summer signing with Ismaila Sarr joining the club.
Following the announcement, goalkeeper Dean Henderson welcomed Sarr with a supportive message on social media.
Manager Oliver Glasner expressed his satisfaction with the new addition to the squad.
Sarr mentioned that former Palace player Cheikhou Kouyate had discussed the club with him prior to the move.
Sarr shared his excitement about joining Crystal Palace on Instagram, noting that the transfer had been two years in the making.
He expressed his happiness to return to the Premier League and his eagerness to work with his new coach and teammates.
Henderson responded to Sarr’s post with an encouraging message, demonstrating the welcoming atmosphere among the players.
Regarding Sarr’s role in the team, he’s expected to fill the position left by Michael Olise, although their playing styles differ.
Sarr will likely compete with Jordan Ayew and Daichi Kamada for the right-wing position, while Ebere Eze is expected to maintain his starting role on the left, with Matheus Franca as a potential backup once fit.
The arrival of Sarr adds to the ongoing changes at Crystal Palace this summer, providing more options for Glasner’s squad.
