Pape Souare signs new long-term Crystal Palace contract

Left-back Pape Souare has signed a new three-and-a-half year contract with Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old Senegal international joined Palace on an 18-month deal last January and was due to be out of contract at the end of the season.

However, after impressing in the Premier League this season, he has committed to the Eagles until the end of the 2018-19 campaign.

"I just want to thank every fan for helping me to find my level and the manager as well," Souare told the club website. "I'm very happy to be at this club."

Souare has made 33 appearances in all competitions since joining Palace from Lille.
