Pape Souare extends Crystal Palace stay

Senegalese defender Pape Souare has signed a new deal to keep him at Crystal Palace until the summer of 2019.

The 25-year-old has played an influential role for the Eagles this season, and this has earned him a three-year extension at Selhurst Park.

"I just want to thank every fan for helping me to find my level and the manager as well," he told the club's official website. "I'm very happy to be at this club." 

Souare's previous deal was due to expire at the end of the 2015-16 season.
