All of the top eight are in for Michael Olise this summer, and we've done the young Frenchman the solid of ranking his nine (yes, nine) options.
Michael Olise is enjoying an outstanding season. His brace in the humiliation of Manchester United on Monday means that only Erling Haaland , Cole Palmer and Kevin De Bruyne have more goal contributions per 90 minutes than Olise . Inevitably, that form has drawn the attention of The Big Boys ahead of the summer transfer window.
And while we’re on the stupidity of the supposed great minds behind Chelsea transfer business, why oh why would they be trying to sign another left-footed right winger? Mauricio Pochettino’s already struggling to get Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke into the same team. For the love of God buy someone to fight for, and almost certainly win, Mykhaylo Mudryk’s spot on the left.
It would be alright if either Saka or Olise could operate on the left or down the middle, but they are both so clearly made for that spot on the right, where they can cut a whipped ball into the box or the top corner. Saka hasn’t played anywhere but the right wing in the last two years and Olise has never played on the left for Crystal Palace.
It looks like fun playing for Spurs though, and with the whole “stop passing it f***ing backwards” philosophy, Olise would have plenty of opportunity to shine.staying? But actually, either way, he may be well advised to snub Liverpool advances. If Salah stays he may not play enough, and if he doesn’t – as is the case with Arne Slot coming in for Jurgen Klopp – that’s a very difficult act to follow.
But they owe Tottenham a debt of gratitude for what now looks as good as nailed on to be Champions League football next season, because Spurs have been so bad that Villa’s exhaustion hasn’t been too costly, in the Premier League at least. Unless he gets a horrible injury, which we accept must always be a consideration for a footballer and their family, those big offers are still going to arrive next summer, after a season in which – and we’re not taking the p*ss here – if Glasner adds a couple of quality additions and keeps his best players both at the club and fit, Palace could be challenging for Europe.
