The player in question is Crystal Palaceꦫ’s Michael Olise, who ha꧒s been going from strength to strength at Selhurst Park.

Alth𝓡ough Chelsea are said to be pursuing 💫Olise, has shared an update which seemingly bodes well for Arsenal.

The report claims that🍨 ‘Chelsea contacted Palace to find out more about the clause this week’.

However, ‘doubts have emerged over whether Olise would favour a move there when there is also interest f꧂rom Arsenal, Bayern, Newcastle and🐲 both Manchester clubs.’

Who is Arsenal target Michael Olise?

Olise, who was born in London, was with a numbeꦬr of top academies as a youngster (Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City) before linking up with Reading in 2017.

He rose through the ranks and broke into the Royals first-team squad in 2019 before earning himself a move to Palace 🐽in 2021, where he has become a star.

The 22-year-old has made 90 competitive 𒁃appearances for the Eagles and has registered an impressive 16 goals and 25 assists.

Olise has also been capped seven times for France’s Under-21s, andꦇ surely it won’t be long before he’s in the senior squad picture.

The £60millio🗹n-rated ace would be an outstanding option for Arsenal. He can score goals, provide assists, is a great🌠 dribbler and has a lot of experience in the Premier League too.

Arsenal may well fancy their chances of beating Chelsea to Olise’s s🎃ignature, so let’s see what 💧happens in the coming weeks.
