Busy defensively in big loss Kouyate made two tackles (two won), four clearances and two interceptions during Sunday's 5-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Joins Nottingham Forest Kouyate signed for Nottingham Forest as a free agent on Saturday. He's committed to a two-year contract with his new club.

Impact Kouyate arrives as another midfield reinforcement after his contract at Crystal Palace wasn't renewed. He's been a reliable defensive-midfielder, though his production has waned in recent seasons. With a formation that relies on a deep midfield, Kouyate should get plenty of chances to play even if his value isn't the highest.

Struggles for minutes down stretch Kouyate struggled to find consistent minutes since returning from AFCON and finished with 52 tackles and 38 interceptions in 27 league appearances (23 starts).

Impact Kouyate was the go-to midfielder in the first half of the season, but that role disappeared late, as he only managed one start in the final six matches. He still seems to have the starting role locked down heading into the next campaign but another addition could change things. No matter, he's a true defensive midfielder and rarely gets up the field.

Back at Crystal Palace Kouyate is back from AFCON and training with Crystal Palace again ahead of upcoming matches.

Impact Kouyate has missed the last month from AFCON and got an extra week following Senegal's title win. For now, it's assumed he'll have his spot in the starting XI, though he may lose more time to Will Hughes and Jeffrey Schlupp in the second half of the season. He's totaled four shots and three chances created in 15 starts.

Away for AFCON Kouyate has joined Senegal for the upcoming African Cup of Nations and will miss the next two league matches, at a minimum.

Impact It looks like Kouyate was already away for the last match, so that XI was a glimpse of what Palace will look like in January. The hope is that Conor Gallagher can return from his injury because Luka Milivojevic has struggled to hold his place whenever in the squad this season.

Misses Crystal Palace game Kouyate wasn't in the squad for Saturday's match against West Ham because of an undisclosed issue.

Impact It was the first absence of the season for Kouyate, who is believe to have tested positive for COVID-19. He should be ready to play for the next contest Jan. 14 and he'll likely take over for Luka Milivojevic, who has struggled to keep pace when on the pitch this season.

Racks up three clearances Kouyate took one shot off target, made one tackle, one interception and registered three clearances during Sunday's 1-1 draw between Tottenham and Crystal Palace.

Impact Kouyate was a reliable defensive presence for Palace despite the fact he started just three of the team's final six games. He ends the 2019-20 season with one goal, one assist, 67 tackles, 43 interceptions, and 55 clearances in 35 appearances (29 starts).

Impact This is yet another injury for Sakho and Palace, who will end the season with four defenders on the shelf. Cheikhou Kouyate is most likely to take a spot at center-back for the finale. Sakho closes the campaign with no clean sheets in 14 appearances (11 starts) and numerous muscle injuries.
