​Crystal Palace boss Vieira: We're all excited about Olise potential

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira praised Michael Olise after a hard fought draw against Leicester City.

The south London club were down 2-0 to the Foxes at Selhurst Park, but roared back to secure a point late in the game.

Olise started off the Palace comeback when he came on as a substitute, netting in the 61st minute.

"I think we are all really excited about his talent," Vieira said post-game.

"But at the same time, we have to understand it will take time to be a Premier League player. He is working really well, working really hard, and he is in a good football club who will support him to develop himself.

"It's just about him keeping working. He's working in training, he can score goals as he showed today. It is a long season, so he will definitely play some games, but we have to give him time as well to develop himself.

"He had a long injury and he is not at his best yet, but he is improving and he will be a really important player for us."
