Michael Olise is reportedly one player that is being monitored by Arsenal ahead of a potential transfer move.
Indeed, The Mail report that the Gunners have more than half an eye on Olise as they look to add more young attacking talent to their roster of budding superstars.
Olise certainly has what it takes to make it at the very top level. He’s got a god-given ability on the ball, and if he can finetune some of his rougher edges, he could be a superstar.
Don’t just take our word for it though. Olise has earned praise from some of the biggest names in this sport have praised the former Reading man in the past, including Arsenal legend and current Crystal Palace boss, Patrick Vieira.
Vieira loves Olise
Vieira has spoken highly about Olise on a number of occasions, but the most notable praise he gave him was after an FA Cup game against Hartlepool where he labelled him as a ‘special talent’.
“When you look at the last round and this one, he played well. He can score goals, create chances and he is a special talent,” Vieira said.
“He will improve and get better as a player. His work ethic every day has been terrific since he has been at the football club.”
Seal of approval
Patrick Vieira knows a good player when he sees one.
Listen, if you’re being described as ‘special’ by someone who has played alongside the likes of Thierry Henry, Zinedine Zidane and Dennis Bergkamp you must be doing something right.
Olise has gotten the seal of approval from Vieira, and that should be enough to convince Arsenal to make this move for the young star.
