Steve Mandanda joins Crystal Palace from Marseille

Crystal Palace have announced the signing of goalkeeper Steve Mandanda from Marseille on a three-year contract.

France international Mandanda, who remains with the national team squad for Euro 2016, will move to London for an undisclosed fee after passing a medical.

"I'm delighted that we have been able to bring Steve into the club," Palace chairman Parish told their official website.

"He brings a wealth of experience at both club and international level to us, and boasts a proven track record when it comes to winning trophies."

Mandanda, 31, was named Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year four times including last season.

Palace had announced the £13 million signing of Andros Townsend from Newcastle United earlier on Friday, with Dwight Gayle moving in the opposite direction for £10m.
