Crystal Palace and Arsenal and Tottenham target Cheick Doucoure have finalised personal terms ahead of a transfer to the Premier League.
The Eagles just need to agree on a price with RC Lens now that the south Londoners have agreed on a wage with Doucoure.
The Ligue 1 club wants €25 million (£21 million) for the Mali international, who is also wanted by Everton and Frank Lampard.
Things appear to be turning around for Patrick Vieira.
The announcement comes after the 22-year-old made 37 appearances for RC Lens in all competitions last season, scoring one goal and giving four assists.
