Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira is interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa, according to Foot Mercato. Kurzawa only signed a new contract at Les Parisiens last summer, but he is said to be eyeing a fresh challenge away from the club.

Crystal Palace recently announced the appointment of Patrick Vieira as their new manager, and he has a huge rebuilding job this summer. The Eagles have yet to resolve the futures of 11 out-of-contract players, and there could be plenty of activity in terms of new signings.

We look at three players who could interest the new Eagles head coach. Ainsley Maitland-Niles Maitland-Niles spent the second half of last season on loan with West Bromwich Albion, where he impressed from the centre of the park. It’s unlikely that he would play in his preferred role on his return to the Gunners. The majority of his appearances have come as a full-back. Having struggl...
