Ismaila Sarr Makes Premier League Return With Crystal Palace Move
Ismaila Sarr has made a return to the Premier League after joining Crystal Palace from Olympique Marseille.
Sarr has joined on a five-year contract in a deal worth £12.5m.
Sarr previously played for Watford in the Premier League before joining Marseille last summer.
The 26-year-old is coming in as a replacement for Michael Olise, who joined Bayern Munich earlier in the summer transfer window.
“I am very happy to be here because Crystal Palace is a great club," Sarr said.
"Thanks to the coach and the Sporting Director – they told me about their project, and I accepted because it is a good project.
"I am going to work hard on the pitch and off the pitch for the team and for the fans as well."
Head coach Oliver Glasner added: "We're happy that Ismaïla has decided to join Crystal Palace because he knows the Premier League when he played at Watford, he knows living in England, and he also had many games with Marseille last season.
"In every year, in every club where he was, he's showed that he can score goals. He showed it as well in the national team for Senegal, so we are really pleased that he will join our group."
Sarr has won 64 caps for the Senegal national team and was a member of their 2021 AFCON-winning squad.
