Crystal Palace sign Florian Marange

Premier League newcomers Crystal Palace have completed the signing of French defender Florian Marange on a free transfer.

The deal to sign the Frenchman is subject to FA and Premier League approval, but the Eagles could place the player in the squad to face Tottenham Hotpur on Sunday.

Marange, who signed a one-year contract with the Eagles, will wear the number three shirt at Selhurst Park.

The former France Under-21 international made 83 league appearances for Ligue 1 outfit Bordeaux, before being released by the French side.
