THE BIGGER PICTURE
Olise favours United because he is said to have been an avid fan of the Red Devils since he was a child. Despite his United fandom, he spent seven years in the Chelsea youth academy before joining Manchester City’s system and finally joining Reading before Palace snapped him up in 2021.
DID YOU KNOW?
Olise has had his playing time at Palace cut short this season because of injuries. He has featured just nine times in the Premier League but has managed to score five goals, making him the team’s second top scorer behind Odsonne Edouard, who has six.

Before he can make a summer transfer from Selhurst Park, Olise will likely see out the rest of the season with Palace. He may be involved on Tuesday when Palace take on Sheffield United in the
Premier League.
