Arsenal great Patrick Vieira is in line to be named new manager of Crystal Palace.

Vieira is in advanced talks to become Crystal Palace's new manager, with a deal said to be '75 per cent done' for the Arsenal legend to replace Roy Hodgson, reports the Athletic.

Vieira is already in the UK, working for ITV as a pundit on Euro 2020.

As well as Nice, Vieira has managerial experience in the United States, having taken charge of New York City FC between 2016 and 2018.

The move will see the 45-year-old take up his first managerial position in England since quitting the Premier League as a player in 2011.
