Sakho joined Palace on loan in January 2017, collecting the club’s Player of the Month award in March and helping to secure safety with several significant clean sheets.

He then signed a permanent deal in August 2017 and went on to play a total of 75 times for Palace.

Everyone at the club would like to thank Mamadou for his service over the years and to wish him well for the future.

Mamadou Sakho has departed Crystal Palace after four and a half years upon the expiry of his contract, signing for Ligue 1 side Montpellier Hérault SC.

Souaré has been training at the Academy since the start of pre-season, which has helped him maintain fitness. 

It has been a mutually beneficial arrangement, as Souaré’s presence has provided an extremely positive experience for the club’s younger players.

Former Crystal Palace defender Pape Souaré will play for the U23s during pre-season, as the club is supporting him in his attempts to find a new playing opportunity.
