Ismaïla Sarr has been voted Crystal Palace’s Player of the Month for April following a string of decisive performances that helped propel the club to the FA Cup final.
The Senegal international played a pivotal role in Palace’s cup campaign, most notably contributing two goals and an assist during a commanding 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the semi-finals.
The win secured the South London side a place in the final against Manchester City, one of the most significant achievements in the club’s recent history.
The club’s monthly honour, known as the “Eagle of the Month,” is awarded to the player deemed most influential over the course of the calendar month.
This is Sarr’s second time receiving the accolade since joining Palace, having previously claimed the honour in December 2024.
“Thank you! I am very happy. Thank you to the fans. I work hard for the team every day and I am very happy to have this trophy,” Sarr said after receiving the award.
April proved to be a defining month for the 26-year-old winger, whose pace, creativity, and clinical finishing were on full display.
His contributions have not only lifted the team’s performances on the pitch but have also cemented his reputation as one of the side’s most consistent and dynamic players.
Sarr’s growing influence at Crystal Palace has not gone unnoticed by the club’s supporters, who have embraced his direct style of play and relentless work ethic.
Since his arrival from Watford, his performances have steadily improved, and his April form has confirmed his status as a key figure under the club’s current management.
He deserves it.
