He told the club’s official website: “I’ve heard a lot of good things about the club. I can’t wait to meet the players, staff and all the fans. I’ve heard so many good things and I’m very excited to be here.”
Perfect for the palace – the parish
Sosa started with his hometown club, Dinamo Zagreb. He moved to Amsterdam in 2023 and won a domestic double before a Bundesliga stint with Stuttgart and Ajax.
He struggled with his time with Ajax and spent last season on loan in Turin.
Palace President Steve Parish said: “We believe Vocal is perfect for Crystal Palace. His qualification speaks for itself, and his arrival adds additional quality, experience and depth to our team. I look forward to welcoming him to South London.”
The Palace won the FA Cup last season, but in the process of trying to sell his shares to American Woody Johnson, he is waiting to discover whether he can play in the Europa League with John Text, who owns Lyon.
