Crystal Palace Sign Borna Sosa from Ajax

Crystal Palace have signed Croatian left-back Borna Sosa from Ajax on a three-year deal for a reported fee between £2 million and £3 million, making him their second summer signing after goalkeeper Walter Benitez. Sosa, 27, joins after a stint at Ajax and a loan season at Torino, and is known for his attacking prowess and Bundesliga experience with Stuttgart, where he was among the top assist-providing defenders. He is expected to offer competition to Tyrick Mitchell and add depth to the left flank. Palace chairman Steve Parish described Sosa as a 'perfect fit' who brings quality and experience, and Sosa expressed enthusiasm about joining the club. Sosa has earned 26 caps for Croatia and played a key role in their 2022 World Cup third-place finish. Palace are currently awaiting a UEFA decision on their Europa League eligibility after qualifying by winning the FA Cup, amid ongoing ownership complications.
