Football scout Sean Conlon has claimed that Crystal Palace star Michael Olise can go to “the very top” ahead of his reunion with Chelsea on Sunday. The 20-year-old was a former academy player with the Blues until he left aged 14, one of a number of promising players to have come through the Cobham academy.
The forward made the move to Selhurst Park in the summer from Reading, where he made his senior breakthrough in 2020. While he has been eased in, Olise has shown sparks of what he is capable of, scoring four and assisting eight across all competitions this season.
Eagles manager Patrick Vieira has been full of praise for the forward, but has challenged him to stay focused on progression, saying last month: “What is important for Michael [Olise] is that yes, at the moment he is playing well, but his focus and concentration has to be on Crystal Palace and how to work well in training and keep performing like he's been doing in the last couple of games.”
