Crystal Palace manager, Roy Hodgson has come out to say that the club is concerned over holding onto English forward, Olise this summer. He recently had his say amid interest from both Chelsea and Manchester City, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the club will definitely fight to keep the young talent because he is an outstanding winger who has the potential to be the best in the league.
Roy added that Palace already lost Zaha to Galatasaray, so it would be a blow to lose Olise too.
His words, “We have a fight on our hands to make sure he stays with us. We had two outstanding wingers who were almost the best in the league – Michael Olise on the right side and Wilf on the left. We don’t have Wilf anymore – clubs are circling around Olise.”
“We’ve lost five senior players from last season and brought one in – Jefferson Lerma. He’s good and we’re happy to have him in – but there is still that hole of five senior players in the squad, two of whom were two of the real stars of the team. There’s a bit of work for the chairman and sporting director to do between now and the end of August, because the team we put out today was in our opinion, at this moment in time, our best team, but we don’t have the strength behind that team that we had last year.”
