Premier League side Crystal Palace have officially extended the contract of Mali international midfielder Cheick Doucouré until June 30, 2029, AfricaSoccer.com can confirm
The 24-year-old joined the Premier League club in 2022 from French club RC Lens and quickly established himself as a vital presence in the Eagles’ midfield.
Doucouré’s stellar performances earned him a contract extension, and he expressed his delight, stating;

Despite the setback, Doucouré remains optimistic about his future with Crystal Palace, emphasizing his eagerness to return to the pitch and play in front of the club’s passionate supporters.
