European Tour

## Our Senegalese Sarr

> Ismaïla Sarr became the club’s third signing of the 2024/25 summer transfer window after joining on a five-year deal from Olympique de Marseille.

The 26-year-old attacker possesses plenty of experience of English football, having spent four years at Watford – recording 34 goals and 22 assists in 131 games – prior to joining Marseille, whom he helped reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League last season.

Sarr's career began in French football with Metz, before moving to Rennes and leading the club into Europe, as well as winning their first Coupe de France in almost half a century.

At international level, he has been a mainstay of the Senegal national side, earning 64 caps, scoring 13 goals and winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021.

His career has also been defined by his eye for the spectacular, having won Goal of the Season awards in both the Football League and the Europa League.

Sarr was ever-present in every Premier League matchday squad in his first season at the club, playing in all 38 games, while also featuring in a further nine cup games. He scored 11 goals across all competitions, with eight additional assists - including a stunning effort against rivals Brighton & Hove Albion and a brace against Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final.

With Palace a goal and a man to the good, having scored twice in quick succession to turn the game on its head, the euphoria was already abound in the away end at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Then Jaydee Canvot lifted his head and played a clever pass into the feet of Adam Wharton. The midfielder, by the time the ball had arrived at his feet, had already lifted his head and – instinctively, in the blink of an eye – assessed his options and quantified the precision and power it would take to play Ismaïla Sarr in.

It looked a long shot. In truth, it was. Yet the ball was inch-perfect, Sarr's powerful run unstoppable, and all amounted to make the finish for Palace's third goal, by comparison, so simple.

It can be easy to miss all these incredible details given the rapid-fire nature of Premier League football, so our Palace TV crew have slowed it right down below for you.

**It's a wonderful bit of footage – a must-watch – and you can view it above.**

There was a brief moment on Thursday night, in the seventh minute of first-half injury time against Tottenham Hotspur, where time appeared to stand still.
