Arsenal are reportedly showing interest in signing Michael Olise in the next summer. Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar also like the player.

However, Crystal Palace consider him a very important part of the team for present and future. Therefore, they will demand a very high transfer fee for him.

ARSENAL AND MICHAEL OLISE TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY

According to reports, Arsenal want to sign Michael Olise in the next summer transfer window. They see him as a ready made option to compete with Bukayo Saka. The report also claims that both Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar like the player. Hence, the winger is high on their transfer list. The report also mentions the price Crystal Palace will demand.

It also claims that Palace will demand 40 million for the Arsenal target. The price could reduce down to 35 million if Crystal Palace are relegated from the Premier League this season. However, Palace are slowly making progression away from the relegation battle under Roy Hodgson. Therefore, it looks like the Gunners will have to pay the high price for their transfer target.

THE GUNNERS DO NEED TO SIGN A PLAYER TO GIVE BUKAYO SAKA COMPETITION

Arsenal are currently lucky with Bukayo Saka. The star winger has not suffered a major injury till now this season. However, they need to have competition for him in the squad. This is because the Gunners tend to lose their shape and way without Saka. The Gunners currently have Reiss Nelson as a back-up. However, he is not a serious competition for Saka in the squad.

Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson is also negotiating his contract extension with the club. His contract with the club expires in the next summer transfer window. Hence, the need for a competition for Bukayo Saka is more than needed. Therefore, Michael Olise fits the team perfectly. Therefore, it is now on Edu Gaspar and club owners to make sure that he fits the transfer fee perfectly.

Arsenal will certainly have other wingers on their transfer list. However, it looks Olise is perfect signing for the Gunners. Whereas, Gunners are the perfect future club for the Crystal Palace winger. This is because Mikel Arteta likes to have a young squad that fit the present and future plans.
