The Malian midfielder is already making waves in Crystal Palace, having joined the Premier League side in August, penning a three-year contract following his release from Wolves, where Sako scored 38 goals over 124 games for the team.

 

 

 

It is not difficult to see why the fans love him: he scored the second-winning goal for Palace on his full debut against Aston Villa on August 22 and then scored again alongside teammate Joel Ward the following week away to Chelsea, in a 2-1 win, which was Jose Mourinho’s second-ever loss at Stamford Bridge. He’s played 14 games for Mali putting 6 goals in net for the team.
