Crystal Palace forward Ismaïla Sarr will need time to come to terms with the collapse of his proposed move to Liverpool, head coach Pierre Sage has said.
The Senegal international was linked with a late transfer to Anfield during the final stages of the transfer window after an impressive campaign in which he finished as Palace’s top scorer.
However, the move failed to materialise, leaving the 28-year-old at Selhurst Park.
As reported by BBC Sport on Thursday, Sage acknowledged that the situation could be difficult for Sarr, given the opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in European football.
