Kouyate highlights main struggle in positional switch

Speaking with Premier League Productions last week, Cheikhou Kouyate discussed Crystal Palace’s start to the season and how he is finding his current role at centre-back.

Assessing Palace’s opening fixtures, Kouyate revealed what coming into the new season felt like and how he believes the Eagles have started the current campaign. “We work hard in the beginning,” he said. “The team spirit is very, very good; we need to play hard, we need to win some points.

“And the first time we see we are going to play the first game against Southampton, all the team say we need to be ready, we need to get some points.
