Marseille winger Ismaila Sarr set for Crystal Palace medical

Ismaila Sarr is set for a medical with Crystal Palace after they agreed a fee with French side Marseille for the winger.

The Eagles agreed a fee in the region of  €15million (£12.6m) for the Senegalese attacker, who is now poised for a return to English football after a year away from Watford.

Sarr joined Marseille last season from the Hornets in July 2023. He picked up 56 goal contributions in 131 outings with Watford.

Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman has been a long-time admirer of Sarr and has tried to sign the winger before.

He has scored 13 goals and provided six assists for Senegal.
