Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira is looking to bring in Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah and Nice’s Kasper Dolberg as he aims to strengthen his side’s attacking options.
As reported by The Sun, Vieira wants to add more goals to the Palace team and is planning to raid his former clubs Arsenal and Nice.
Nketiah, who has one year left on his deal, reportedly refused the offer of a new contract from Arsenal recently, with the 22-year-old eager to play regularly. He is reportedly available for £20million.

In the second half of last season Nketiah was frequently left out of the matchday squad by Mikel Arteta and he could end up leaving this summer.
Dolberg, meanwhile, impressed for Denmark at Euro 2020 as he scored three goals and is valued at £25million.
Vieira signed Dolberg from Ajax in 2019, with the forward having found the net 17 times in 55 appearances for Nice.

It appears likely that Vieira would only be able to sign one of Nketiah and Dolberg.
Since being appointed as Palace boss a week ago, Vieira has already made one signing, bringing in midfielder Michael Olise from Reading.
Vieira faces a considerable task in attempting to rebuild Palace’s squad with a host of players out of contract after their deals expires at the end of June.
