Crystal Palace are impressing in the transfer market this summer with five players already signed under new boss Patrick Vieira.

Palace splashed out £18million to bring in Marc Guehi from Chelsea, with the centre-back penning a five-year deal.

The 21-year-old is extremely highly rated and spent last season on loan with Swansea, but has found chances in the Blues first team limited.

Partnering him will be Joachim Andersen, who impressed on loan at Fulham from Lyon last season

Tottenham were interested in signing him before Palace landed their man in a deal worth around £17million.

The Eagles have signed yet another Chelsea star Conor Gallagher on loan.  

The midfielder was brilliant with West Brom last season and has joined Palace in search of more first-team football this season.

The Eagles are sure to be active still in the market with reports linking them to Watford star Will Hughes, who is entering the final year of his contract.

Palace search for a manager took a little longer than expected following Roy Hodgson’s departure with the likes of Nuno Espirito Santo and Lucien Favre coming close.

Crystal Palace also had a number of players out of contract last season, so had plenty to do when they did finally get their man in the door.

Their business has been swift and impressive landing Vieira’s top targets so far with more still on their radar.

Before joining Palace, Vieira had been the head coach of French outfit OGC Nice and secured impressive seventh and sixth-placed finishes in his first two seasons.
