Crystal Palace beat Everton and Chelsea to sign goalkeeper Steve Mandanda

The Marseille stopper and French No 2 is moving to Selhurst Park after passing a medical, claim L’Equipe.

Everton and Chelsea were also reportedly interested in the 31-year-old Mandanda.

They already have Welsh No 1 Wayne Hennessey, veteran Julian Speroni and Alex McCarthy on the books.

Mandanda has been with Marseille since moving from Le Havre in 2008 and has won 22 international caps.

He was part of the side that won the Ligue 1 title in 2009/10 as well as three League Cup victories.
