Transfer
Crystal Palace have confirmed the arrival of Mali International, Cheick Doucoure from Ligue 1 side RC Lens.
The 22-year-old signed a five-year deal with the Eagles.
The midfielder is Palace’s third signing of the summer, following the arrivals of winger Malcolm Ebiowei and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
Doucoure made 34 Ligue 1 appearances for Lens last season as they achieved a seventh-place finish in France’s top-flight.
“I’m very happy, I feel a lot of joy and a lot of pride to be a Palace player,” Doucoure told the London club’s media. “I’m proud to be at Palace today.”
Welcome to Palace, Cheick Doucouré ❤️💙#CPFC
