Patrick Vieira believes Cheick Doucoure has adapted to Premier League football quickly after an impressive start at Crystal Palace.
The Mali international has started all six Premier League games so far for the Eagles after his £22million arrival from French Ligue 1 side Lens, including Saturday’s goalless draw at Newcastle United.
Doucoure appears to have adapted quickly to life in England’s top-flight and Vieira believes the 22-year-old is improving with each game. In the goalless draw at St James’ Park, defensively, Doucoure had the joint-highest number of tackles (five) and shots blocked (three), whilst also managing four shots at the Newcastle goal.
