Crystal Palace sign Steve Mandanda
Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda for a fee of around £1.5m. The France international makes the move to the Premier League after nine years of service at Stade Velodrome.
Mandanda had earlier expressed his desire to move to England with the likes of Everton and Chelsea interested in his signature.
According to French publication L'Equipe, Alan Pardew's Eagles have secured services of the 31-year-old with Marseille settling on a £1.5m for his sale.
Palace were initially eyeing a free transfer for the shot-stopper in 2017, but interest from various clubs enticed them to seal the deal a year earlier. The length of the contract has yet to be disclosed.
Mandanda is currently playing deputy to Hugo Lloris for France at Euro 2016.
