Ian Wright has raved about reported Arsenal target and Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise on Match of the Day on BBC One.
The former Arsenal and Palace star believes that Olise, linked with a move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer transfer window, is a very exciting footballer who will explode next season.
The Sun reported in February that Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Lille and Bayern Munich all are interested in signing the 20-year-old – who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger – in the summer transfer window.
Wright said: “For me now, with Michael Olise, we are talking about one of the players, I think he is going to be exciting, he is very exciting. He is somebody, I believe, next season we are going to see the real deal.”
Michael Olise could flourish at Arsenal
In our view, Olise could flourish at Arsenal under manager Mikel Arteta.
We are seeing the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli doing wonders for the Gunners at the moment.
Olise is only 20, and he is going to be a star in the coming years.
The Palace winger is quick, works hard, and can run at defenders, and he would be a great option to have for Arsenal.
The Palace no. 7 has made nine starts and 12 substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Eagles so far in his career.
Olise has scored two goals and provided five assists in those games.
