Sarr, who played two seasons in English football's top flight with Watfoꩵrd, has signed a five-year contract at Selhurst Park for a reported £12.5million fee.
The 26-year-old is seen as a replacement for Michae꧃l Olise, who joined Bayern M🦂unich for £50million earlier in the transfer window.
In his 35 appearances for Marseille, the Ivory Coast in🅠ternational scored five goals, three of which came in Ligue 1.🐻
During his time with Watford in the Premier League, Sarr made 50 appearances, s꧋coring 10 goals and adding six assisℱts, with his most prolific seasons for the Hornets coming in the Championship, where he notched 39 goal contributions in 78 outings.
“I am very happy 🧸to be here because Crystal Palace is a great club," Sarr sꦍaid.
"Thanks to the coach and the Sporting Director – they told me about their project, and I accepted because it 𒆙🉐is a good project.
"I am going to work hard on the pitch and off the pitch for the team and fo𝔉r the fans as well."
Sarr becomes Palace's third signing of the transfer ꦰwindow following the arrivals of midfielder Daichi Kamada and defender Ch♌adi Riad.
Head coach Oliver Glasner added: "We're happy that Ismaïla has decided to join Crystal Palace because he knows the Premier League when 🎃he played at Watford, he knows living in England, and he also had many games with Marওseille last season.
"In every year, in every club where he was, he's showed that h▨e can score goals. He showed it as well in the national team for Senegal, so we are really pleased that he will join our group."
