Ismaila Sarr

Sarr came to Crystal Palace to try and replace the production of the departing Michael Olise. While he didn't quite match those numbers, he was still a much-needed spark in the attack. He appeared in every match and tallied 14 goal contributions, just two fewer than Eberechi Eze. Sarr quickly established himself as the second attacking midfielder in manager Oliver Glasner's 3-4-2-1 formation, a role that gives him plenty of time on the ball. After struggling with Watford in the Premier League a few years prior, it seems like Sarr finally found a perfect spot and more success in 2025/26 is expected with a similar role likely.
