Crystal Palace star Michael Olise sparks intense interest amidst international clubs tug of war

Posted : 02 January 2024

Crystal Palace's dynamic 22-year-old winger, Michael Olise, has become a sought-after talent in the Premier League, attracting interest from several top clubs, including league leaders Liverpool. Having missed the initial part of the season due to injury, Olise has made a resounding impact in his recent appearances, notching five goals and an assist in nine games, making him a potential replacement for Salah during the African Championship and beyond.

 

Liverpool's pursuit of Olise is not the first time he's been linked to a significant move, with Chelsea reportedly activating his release clause in August, only for the winger to extend his contract with Palace. With a current market value of €50 million, Olise, who was acquired for €9.3 million in 2021, promises a substantial profit for the Eagles.

 

What sets Olise's story apart is the international dimension, as he grapples with multiple national team options. Born in London to a Nigerian father and a French-Algerian mother, Olise is eligible to represent England, Nigeria, France, and Algeria. Both African nations have reportedly approached him, while the Three Lions have him in their sights. Despite representing France in youth teams, Olise has declined participating in the upcoming African Championship, leaving his international future open for speculation.

 

Following Palace's recent victory, manager Roy Hodgson, a former England coach, addressed the ongoing debate over Olise's national allegiance, emphasizing its privacy and expressing confidence in the young player's bright international career. As the tussle for Olise's services intensifies, the decision rests firmly with the talented winger and his parents.
