Arsenal to join race of bidding for 22-year-old player

Michael Olise is undoubtedly one of the most talented young players in the Premier League, and Arsenal are said to be keen.

Indeed, it is said that the Gunners would join a bidding war for the 22-year-old.

The Crystal Palace midfielder is a joy to watch when he’s at his best, and he’s been showcasing his talents at the top level more and more in recent weeks.

As you can imagine, his recent performances for Palace have garnered attention from some of the top teams in the Premier League.

Manchester United have been strongly linked, while according to Dean Jones, speaking on the Ranks FC Podcast, there are a number of other Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, who would get involved if a bidding war started.

Jones shared what he knows about this player.

“When they are weighing up options Michael Olise is someone they do really like in this position. Obviously if it comes to a time where there’s a bidding war for Michael Olise then you will have Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal all involved because that’s how good he is, those are the clubs who like him, Liverpool haven’t gone down that path yet, but why not Liverpool as well if they need to move on from Salah,” Jones said.

Could cost a fortune

Crystal Palace won’t be in any rush to sell Olise after he signed a new contract this summer, but if he is to leave, he could cost an absolute fortune.

Indeed, any bidding war that involves Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea and Man City is bound to be ridiculous, and Palace could be in line for a huge windfall if Olise is to go to one of those clubs.

Of course, whether or not any of these teams do make a move remains to be seen, but it sounds as though there is indeed a lot of interest in Olise at the moment.
