Patrick Vieira 'turned down THREE Premier League job offers' after Crystal Palace sacking because he refused to rush comeback... but Frenchman wants return to English top flight this summer

Patrick Vieira has set his sights on a return to the Premier League this summer, despite reportedly turning down three job offers following his Crystal Palace sacking.

Vieira was dismissed by the Eagles in March with the club having endured a miserable run of form.

Palace had gone nine league games without a win under the Frenchman, which left the club just above the bottom three.

According to L'Equipe via Foot Mercato, Vieira has declined three offers from Premier League clubs to make a swift return to the dugout.
