Reading fans react as Leeds, Arsenal and Wolves reportedly eye Michael Olise

The race is reportedly hotting up for Reading talent Michael Olise before Friday’s 5pm deadline with Leeds United, Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers all said to be interested in the youngster – and Reading supporters have responded.

Olise, 18, has thrown himself onto the shortlists of the Premier League trio after breaking into Reading’s senior side at such a young age – and already clocking up an impressive 32 senior appearances. This season, he has shown an end product.

Clocking up four Championship matches already, Olise has had a hand in three goals – scoring in a 2-0 win over Barnsley and laying on assists during wins over Cardiff and Derby County. He has a contract at Reading until the summer of 2022.

that Olise is expected to leave Reading this season, with Arsenal, Leeds and Wolves all interested in luring the young Frenchman to the Premier League. He can play in central midfield, and on either flank.

A later report from then claimed that two of the three clubs had seen bids of over £5million rejected for Olise. It remains to be seen if an increased offer will be made for the Championship teen in the coming hours.

Reading supporters reacted on Twitter to the reported news that Olise is wanted by the three Premier League clubs – and many are unwilling to wave goodbye to the young winger, even if the price is right.
