The official squad number of Crystal Palace’s latest signing, Ismaïla Sarr, has now been revealed.
The exciting Senegal international recently became Palace’s third arrival of the summer transfer window and is well versed in English football, having spent four years at Watford where he recorded 34 goals and 22 assists in 131 games.
Sarr’s career has also been defined by his eye for the spectacular, and he is now set to wear a Palace shirt number long-associated with that style: No. 7.
The squad number was most recently worn by Michael Olise, with other fan favourites among its former occupants including Yohan Cabaye, Yannick Bolasie, Darren Ambrose, Wayne Routledge, Attilio Lombardo and David Hopkin.
Palace fans will therefore eagerly await the sight of Sarr adorning the famous number for the first time, potentially when the Eagles face FC Nantes at Selhurst Park this Sunday (11th August, 15:00 BST).
A full list of 2024/25 squad numbers will be released in due course.
You can now add personalisation to your 2024/25 Home Kits and Eagle Yellow kits, available to buy online now, and in all physical Club Shops.
Please note that only four players’ squad numbers have been confirmed for the season: Joachim Andersen (No. 5), Daichi Kamada (No. 18), Chadi Riad (No. 34) and Sarr (No. 7, as above).
