We’re now just one week away from the summer transfer window opening and it’s already shaping up to be a big one for Patrick Vieira as he aims to take Crystal Palace to the next level.
The Eagles had one of their busiest ever summers in 2021 with several players leaving the club and a whole host of new faces coming through the door to help Vieira shape his team in his first season as a Premier League manager. If this summer is anything like the last then Palace will be extremely active as soon as the window officially opens on Friday, June 10 all the way until deadline day on Thursday, September 1.
Vieira’s first season in south London could not have gone much better given the circumstances he was put under. With a completely reshaped squad, he managed to get Palace playing attractive, free-flowing football and instil a new sense of pride in a fanbase that had largely grown tired of Roy Hodgson after four years of Premier League survival.
