Dubai-based club Al Nasr have confirmed the signing of Yohan Cabaye on a two-year deal. Yohan Cabaye is a French professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for UAE club Al-Nasr and the France national team. He is described as a player who possesses “excellent vision, great ball control”, and “provides technical quality”.
The 32-year-old midfielder was out of contract at Crystal Palace this summer, and speaking in May, said he was unsure over his future after three years at Selhurst Park. Cabaye had been a regular feature in Roy Hodgson’s starting line-up last season, helping Palace secure Premier League safety with four wins in their final five matches.
Al Nasr announced the signing on Twitter on Tuesday, with images of the Frenchman sporting the No 7 shirt he will wear at the club. Cabaye joined Hodgson’s side from Paris Saint-Germain in 2015, following seasons at Newcastle and Lille, and has 48 caps for France. Right-back Joel Ward signed a new three-year deal with Crystal Palace this week, extending his six-year stay at the club.
