Vieira set for huge howler as CPFC plot bid for "terrible" £91k-p/w dud who's "so bad" - opinion

Patrick Vieira has been rebuilding Crystal Palace by adding a number of young players into the squad since his arrival last summer and will surely be looking to continue his progression by recruiting further this summer.

However, the Frenchman could be set for his first howler with the latest transfer news at the club.

According to reports, via the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace have joined Southampton in registering their interest in Tottenham Hotspur player, Harry Winks ahead of the summer transfer window.

After struggling to prove his worth at Spurs, the 26-year-old is now reportedly set for a move away at the end of the season, and Palace could be an option for him.

The report suggests that Vieira wants to add strength and depth to his current side for the 2022/23 season, with Winks now a target for the club.

It’s safe to say that the Eagles boss has made all the right moves when it comes to transfers so far in his short tenure at Palace, signing up the likes of Jean-Philippe Mateta, Marc Guehi and Michael Olise in permanent deals, all of whom have become important first team players since they joined.

Signing Winks from Tottenham could easily become Vieira’s first howler in his rebuild, with the player failing to make a credible impact on Tottenham and often scathed for his performances at the London club.

Spurs insider John Wenham slammed the 26-year-old after Tottenham crashed out of the Europa Conference League earlier this season.

“Winks was so bad he was omitted from the West Ham squad completely when we can have nine substitutes.

“Winks was poor on the night and he’s been poor all season, so disappointing.

“He’s well down the pecking order. The fact he felt the need to go to the press is terrible.”
