[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Patrick Vieira has won his case. The Crystal Palace manager had made it a priority to recruit 22-year-old Cheick Doucour\u00e9<\/a>, who has been with RC Lens since 2017, to strengthen his midfield.
\nThe 1998 FIFA World Cup winner was impressed by the youngster’s strength and consistency with the Blood-and-Gold club, and asked his management for an effort. And the Eagles finally responded favourably.
\nAfter several weeks of negotiations, the Londoners have agreed with the Artesians on a transfer of the Malian international (8 caps) for \u20ac23m plus \u20ac5m in bonuses. “Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Lens midfielder Cheick Doucour\u00e9<\/a>, subject to international clearance. The Mali international joins the Eagles on a five-year deal as Patrick Vieira continues to strengthen his squad in the summer transfer window, following the arrivals of winger Malcolm Ebiowei and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone,”<\/em> it read.
\nThe Bamako native, who has made 67 appearances for RCL in Ligue 1, will be making his Premier League debut. The Stade F\u00e9lix-Bollaert residents already have his successor in the person of another academician, Salis Abdul Ahmed<\/a> (22), who was recruited a few days ago from Clermont.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/twitter.com\/CPFC\/status\/1546483281910276096?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1546483281910276096|twgr^|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https:\/\/www.footmercato.net\/a7776924170144551155-cheick-doucoure-file-a-crystal-palace”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After putting pen to paper in South London, Doucour\u00e9<\/a> said: “I am very happy, I feel a lot of joy and a lot of pride to be a Palace player.

Commenting on the deal, chairman Steve Parish said: “Cheick’s arrival is another statement of intent, demonstrating our ambition to further improve the squad this summer.\u00a0We are extremely confident that Cheick<\/a> will adapt seamlessly to the rigours of the Premier League and make a positive contribution to the team, and I wish him the very best for his time with us.”<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22895″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
