Lens midfielder Cheick Doucoure is attracting Premier League interest.

Foot Mercato says Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira is a big fan and confident Doucoure can thrive in the Premier League.

Doucoure admits he grew up following Yaya Toure's career at Manchester City.

“I would like to make his career, play the Champions League, a World Cup with my country, be at least once the African Ballon d'Or," he said.

"These are big goals, but you shouldn't set yourself limits."
