Crystal Palace have signed Borna Sosa from Ajax, their second addition of the summer transfer window after goalkeeper Walter Benitez.
The 6ft 2in left-back joins on a three-year contract.
“I’m a player who likes to attack, to bring crosses, to make a lot of actions,” Sosa said in his first Palace interview. “I like games that go up and down, with lots of things going on.”
Sosa's career so far
Born in Zagreb, Croatia on 21 January 1998, Sosa began his career with Dinamo Zagreb, progressing through their ranks before joining the senior set-up in July 2016.
Two years later, the 27-year-old moved to German side Stuttgart and spent five years in the Bundesliga, where he made 115 appearances in all competitions.
