Crystal Palace sign Croatia defender Sosa
Baku, July 11, AZERTAC
Crystal Palace have signed Croatia defender Borna Sosa from Ajax on a three-year deal, BBC reported.
The 27-year-old plays as a left-sided wing-back and Palace said he is "capable of influencing matches at both ends of the pitch".
He is Palace's second signing after the arrival of Argentina goalkeeper Walter Benitez on a free transfer.
The FA Cup winners are awaiting a UEFA decision on whether they can play in next season's Europa League.
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 and added his arrival "adds additional quality, experience and depth to our squad".
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 the side but deciding not to take up their option to buy him.
He has 26 caps for Croatia, scoring twice and playing a key role as they finished third at the 2022 World Cup.
Sosa started his career at his hometown club Dinamo Zagreb before a move to German side Stuttgart.
