Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell hails ‘machine’ Ismaila Sarr after explosive campaign

Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell has lavished praise on his teammate Ismaïla Sarr for his explosive display for the club this season.

Speaking to Premier League Productions, Mitchell described the Senegal international as “a machine” after another outstanding campaign in Eagles colours.

“He’s a machine,” Mitchell said. “He plays every game, he runs everywhere and he scores, so we’re just glad that we have him on our side, and hopefully it continues to the end of the season.”

Sarr has established himself as one of Crystal Palace’s most influential players this season, consistently delivering match-winning performances across domestic and European competitions.

The Senegalese attacker has scored an impressive 20 goals in all competitions, underlining his importance to Palace’s success and confirming his status as one of the club’s key attacking figures.

His remarkable consistency has not only earned admiration from teammates and supporters but has also seen him etch his name into the club’s history books.

Sarr became the first Crystal Palace player since the 2012/13 campaign to score 20 or more goals across all competitions in a single season — a major milestone that highlights the scale of his impact at Selhurst Park.

The former Watford and Olympique de Marseille winger has enjoyed one of the finest seasons of his career, combining pace, creativity and clinical finishing to devastating effect.

Beyond his goalscoring exploits, Sarr’s relentless work ethic and energy have also made him a fan favourite among Palace supporters, with Mitchell’s comments reflecting the admiration he commands within the dressing room.

The 28-year-old has been especially influential during Palace’s impressive European campaign, helping the club compete strongly on multiple fronts while maintaining high standards throughout the season.

His durability has also stood out, with Sarr remaining consistently available and delivering performances week after week — qualities that have clearly impressed his teammates.

As Crystal Palace continue pushing to finish the season strongly, the Eagles will once again look to Sarr to provide inspiration in the final stretch of the campaign.

With his current form showing no signs of slowing down, the Senegal international is increasingly proving himself to be one of the Premier League’s most dangerous and dependable attacking players.
