Steve Mandanda has left Crystal Palace to re-join Marseille on a three-year deal.

Mandanda is the first big name to be axed by new Eagles boss De Boer and Lee Chung-yong and Bakary Sako could be next to face the chop.
There was no mercy shown to Mandanda, a player with Champions League experience who has played 443 times for Marseille.
Lee and Sako have never been regular starters at Selhurst Park - and De Boer wants to get rid of his squad’s deadwood.
