Doucoure, 22, has been with Lens for his whole career to date but could now be poised for a new chapter in his career in England.

According to The Athletic, the Eagles hope to acquire him for an initial fee of €21 million.

Manchester United man on radar

As Viera seeks to add more quality into his squad, his side have been recently linked with Manchester United’s Andreas Pereira.

The Brazil international has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford and may well be allowed to leave on a permanent basis. He has spent recent years away on loan at Lazio and Flamengo.

Midfielder to leave

Midfielder Cheikhou Kouyaté is set to leave the club on a free transfer.

The Daily Mail claim he wants to stay but the two parties have failed to agree a new deal meaning he will be moving on and will have to weigh up his next move.

He has been with Crystal Palace since 2018 and has made 141 appearances in all competitions.
