Crystal Palace’s Pape Souare has gone bust — despite earning £30,000 a week with the Premier League side.
The Senegal international, on the bench for Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat by Liverpool, has entered into a voluntary insolvency arrangement, four months after it emerged he was being privately prosecuted over a car crash that almost ended his career.
It is understood Souare, who joined Palace from Lille in 2015 for £3.5million, has had problems with paying a tax bill and HMRC are one of his major creditors.
It was reported in November that the left-back faced a prosecution brought by Darshan Dube, who was charged by police with driving without due care and attention, following the incident in 2016.
