Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal are among the clubs interested in signing Crystal Palace star Michael Olise in the summer transfer window
Arsenal have the perfect opportunity to beat Chelsea and Manchester City in a deal to sign Crystal Palace star Michael Olise. The French forward is attracting interest from top clubs in the Premier League following his impressive displays for the Eagles last term.
The 21-year-old fits a similar profile to Ajax star Mohammed Kudus - who has been linked with a move to Arsenal and Chelsea this summer. Olise's ability to play on the wing and as a central playmaker makes him an attractive option for the likes of the Gunners and Mauricio Pochettino's side, whilst Pep Guardiola is looking to find a suitable replacement for Riyad Mahrez.
Chelsea seem to be moving fast to add to Pochettino's options in the final third with a report from RMC Sport stating a bid close to £35million has been submitted for the Palace wonderkid. According to Fabrizio Romano, Olise has a £35million release clause in his current contract at Selhurst Park which is a bargain price considering the Frenchman's ability at a young age.
There are concerns regarding Olise's injury record with the 21-year-old currently sidelined with an issue. Arsenal and Chelsea are looking at potentially signing Kudus from Ajax this summer, but the Gunners may have more of a reason to make a move for Olise instead.
By pursuing a deal to sign the 21-year-old, it would stop their rivals from acquiring a hugely talented player that could evolve into a £50million-rated star. Mikel Arteta is looking to add a versatile forward and midfielder to his squad before next season - and Olise could play in both roles.
Rather than paying for two separate players to meet Arteta's demands, Olise's signing would solve two problems at once and make him a huge asset to the Gunners. Available for just £35million, the Frenchman would cost around a similar fee to Kudus but Olise already has Premier League experience and would seemlessly slot into Arteta's new-look system.

Don't tell me we will go through this entire transfer window without buying a proven striker. Jesus and Nketiah are nonreliable. It cost us heavily this gone season. Why buy over-plus players for positions we had covered so well last season? Why can't you bring Ivan Toney? There was no need for Rice or Harvert, we have enough in their positions, all we needed was an additional defender and a proven striker. Please do your homework well and get us proven strikers. All dominant teams boast a quality striker.

He should choose wisely, if he wants to win the prestigious UCL trophy. Then a certain club should not be in his head, I have just said my own.

Must you make it a struggle. Fabrizio added Chelsea were in advanced talks with Olise who prefers going back to Cobham.

The MU sickness of wanting to buy every good player seems to have transmitted first to Chelsea and now to Arsenal. These clubs want to buy everybody and still finish the season with nothing.

Edu go for Kudus and no one else for the forward position. You were fooled into buying Havertz by Arteta. Don't be fooled again this time.
