Luka Milivojevic signs contract extension at Crystal Palace


Crystal Palace captain and top scorer for the last two seasons Luka Milivojevic has signed a new contract until June 2023.

The Serbian midfielder was one of only three outfield players to feature in every minute of the last Premier League season.

He's scored 24 goals in 88 games for Palace since joining the club on deadline day from Olympiacos in January 2017.

Milivojevic has an impressive record from the penalty spot, converting 10 of his 11 spot-kicks during his time in England.

Manager Roy Hodgson says he's the best penalty taker he's worked with.

“Penalties are technique and mental strength and composure. There are those who might say mental strength and composure are in the same ball park, but certainly you need the technique, but then you also need that mental strength and that ability to compose yourself.

Palace chairman Steve Parish is delighted their number four has committed to four more years at the club.

“Luka has been a fantastic player and leader for the club for two and a half years.

His contribution really has been immense and I am delighted that he has agreed to pledge his long term future to Crystal Palace.”
