Arsenal great Patrick Vieira could not deny he is in talks to take the Crystal Palace job last night.

Vieira was on the Bein Sport set when quizzed about the reports.

He responded, smiling: "There are some things that you must always remain vigilant about what you hear and what you can say, because as long as nothing is signed, anything can happen."

Arsène Wenger, his former manager with the Gunners was also present.

He added, “He would be a great recruit for Crystal Palace. He has marked the Premier League so much on the pitch that I would also like him to mark it on the sidelines."
