Crystal Palace confirm Bakary Sako capture

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of former Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Bakary Sako for a Bosman fee.

The Mali international was left the Wolves earlier this summer, having turned down a new contract.

Sako has now penned a three-year deal at Selhurst Park, following weeks of speculation regarding his future.

"I talked to some clubs but when I met Alan (Pardew) I felt a good feeling between him and me and that's why I chose Palace," he told the club's official website.

"He plays attacking, attractive football so it should be good to play here and score some goals - that's why I came to join him.

"I want to play lots of games, score some goals and get some assists and enjoy myself. I'm confident about stepping up to the premier League so we'll see how it goes."

Sako notched 15 goals in all competitions for the Wolves last term.
