Crystal Palace sign Florian Marange

Crystal Palace have signed French defender Florian Marange on a free transfer.

The deal to sign 27-year-old is subject to FA and Premier League approval, but Palace say that he could go straight into the squad for Sunday's match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Marange, who has put pen to paper on a one-year contract, will wear the number three shirt at Selhurst Park.

The former France Under-21 international made 83 league appearances for Bordeaux, before being released by the Ligue 1 side last month.

Marange claims that he turned down various offers from across Europe to join Palace.
