On Wednesday morning some exciting news emerged from Selhurst Park in the form of a long-term contract for a key player.
Crystal Palace are in an exciting period right now with the arrival of Oliver Glasner being a massive addition for the club.
Above this, the past six months have seen new contracts for both Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze, which shows the ambition the club has – even if release clauses mean a departure is still likely.
But now with a truly great manager at the helm, Palace can see a bright future and the latest player to sign along the dotted line has only excited fans more.
The man who’s just been secured to a new deal is Cheick Doucoure who has been out injured all season.
Cheick Doucoure signs new contract
Announced on Wednesday morning, Doucoure was confirmed to have signed a new contract at Palace.
Doucoure has signed a new five-year contract which will take him until 2029. This is excellent news for Palace with the club’s 2022/23 Player of the season attracting interest last summer.
After signing his new deal, Doucoure explained his feelings on the new contract: “I’m really happy to commit my future to Crystal Palace – I’ve enjoyed my time here so much already.
“We have a great group here, and I’m looking forward to getting back on the pitch as quickly as possible to play in front of the supporters of this fantastic football club.”
