Crystal Palace have completed the signing of forward Bakary Sako on a free transfer.

The 27-year-old Mali international signed a three-year deal after leaving Championship side Wolves where he scored 36 goals in 118 matches.

He was top scorer at Molineux last season as Wolves just missed out on the play-offs.

Sako said: "I talked to some clubs but when I met manager Alan Pardew I felt a good feeling between him and me and that's why I chose Palace.

"He plays attacking, attractive football so it should be good to play here and score some goals, that's why I came to join him."
