According to The Sun, Patrick Vieira is interested in bringing Nice striker Kasper Dolberg to Crystal Palace this summer.
Arsenal legend Vieira has made his return to English football as Palace boss following the exit of Roy Hodgson, and boy does he need signings.
Palace have offloaded a number of players, and the Eagles simply have to make a host of moves in the transfer market to back their new boss.
Another striker is a must, and Vieira has two names in mind; Nice ace Dolberg and Arsenal talent Eddie Nketiah.
Vieira would allegedly ‘love’ to sign Nketiah, and knows he can be lured from Arsenal for around £20million.
Nketiah is inside the final year of his contract at Arsenal, and Vieira would seemingly seek a favour from his former club in striking a deal.
Vieira is also eyeing Dolberg though, with one signing more likely to arrive than both of them given the money it would take.
Dolberg played for Vieira at Nice, and has enjoyed a superb summer whilst firing Denmark into the semi-finals of Euro 2020.
The Dane would allegedly cost around £25million, making him narrowly more expensive than Nketiah, but that difference could be vital given Palace’s tight budget.
Dolberg is also wanted by Everton and Leicester City, whilst Palace legend Ian Wright has praised him – making this something of a coup if Vieira can pull it off.
