Crystal Palace has signed Croatia defender Borna Sosa from Ajax on a three-year deal for a fee reported between 2m and 3m. Sosa plays as a left-sided wing-back and is expected to add strength to the team. He has previously played for Ajax and spent last season on loan at Torino. Before that, he established himself as a prominent attacking full-back at Stuttgart. Despite his talent, his career has faced challenges, including falling out of favor at Ajax after a managerial change.
Crystal Palace have signed Croatia defender Borna Sosa from Ajax on a three-year deal. The 27-year-old plays as a left-sided wing-back and is capable of influencing matches at both ends of the pitch.
Sosa has joined for a reported 3m but one source has told the BBC it is 2m. Chairman Steve Parish said Sosa would be a "perfect fit" for Palace.
Sosa joined Ajax in September 2023 and made 25 appearances but spent last season on loan at Italian Serie A side Torino, playing in 20 games with them.
His career has stalled since his time at Stuttgart, where he registered 24 Bundesliga assists during his final three years, the joint-highest figure of any defender.
