Michael Morrison has told that Reading boss Veljko Paunovic has been key to the youngster’s development and reck♒ons he’s got what it takes to shine at the highest level.

“He is lucky to have a manager who supports him, sometimes plays him inside, sometimes plays him outside, knows when to rest him, doesn’t put too much pressure on him to carry the team every weeജk,” he said.

“When you have young talent lik𝄹e that it can be easy to overuse it.

“The manager has also been on to him to make sure that his mentality is right and he achieves everything he can because I would say that 𒆙he can be a top player in the Premier League.

“If he works hard now he could get a move to one of the top Pre♏mier League teams.

“I am sure he is good enough for that and I know there is a lot of interest. We are lucky to have him bu🦋t he still needs that 🧸game time and this is a really good place for him to be at the moment.

“He is playing in a good team and I think that has really helped him. As long as he keeps his head down and works a𝔍s hard aꦇs he has been doing, he can go to the very top.”

Olise played for both Chelsea and Manchester City at youth level but he’s made the breakthrough at Reading, where he’s quickly becoming one of their ma🎐in starꦍs and assets.

Already a France Under-18 international and with his contract taking him to 2022, he’s likely to be the subject of a lot of transfer gossip next year given his talent and chance to develop furtherꦯ.

And with Morrison tipping Olise for a big future, Leeds should certainly be keeping tabs on s🍸uch a talen𓂃ted young player.
