Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has revealed how he convinced Michael Olise to join the club.

Olise became Vieira's first signing at Palace after the Premier League club paid an undisclosed fee to Reading.

New boss Vieira said: "I spoke to him about which part of his game he has to keep developing and working on.

"I explained to him that Palace is the right place for him to step into the Premier League: that we have the tools in our football club to make him a better player.

"We've known him quite well because he's a player the football club have been following for a long time."
