NYCFC: South African midfielder linked with summer move to MLS

Patrick Vieira did a lot of shopping in the midfielder section during the off-season. Obtaining players such as Alexander Ring, Maxi Moralez and Miguel Camargo, the prediction is that Vieira is paving the way for Andrea Pirlo’s exit.

The Italian maestro has had a less than stellar start to the 2017 campaign, and it is expected that this summer Vieira might replace him. According to BT, a Danish newspaper, NYCFC has inquired over South African midfielder Lebogang Phiri.
