Ghana midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp says he's enjoying his football under manager Patrick Vieira at Crystal Palace.

The former Arsenal midfielder, who took charge of the team in July 2021, has impressed the fans and his brand of football is very popular amongst the players.

"We saw reports of him being appointed as manager," Schlupp told Premier League Productions. “Obviously everyone knows who Patrick Vieira is. He's a legend of the game, he's a Premier League legend.

"It was exciting. Then to meet him face-to-face was a big moment for me personally, and for everyone else. He got his message across straight away, told us about his philosophy and the way he wants to play.

"I think everyone bought into that straight away. Everyone demands respect, but the respect for him was there straight away.

"We knew who he was and what he stands for. I think we took to him straight away, and believed in his philosophy straight away."
