Mikel Arteta appears unwavering in his goal of making more additions to genuinely make his team unbeatable, despite the fact that Arsenal has already experienced a fantastic summer of spending thus far.
Will Michael Olise be a part of Arsenal?
According to a source from Sunday, the rumored effort to recruit Michael Olise from Crystal Palace is still a viable option and would give such an all-action team an entirely new aspect.
In fact, 90min implies that the three clubs—Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City—have expressed interest in the prodigy.
The supple wide player glides with the ball at his feet while working off both flanks with ease. Even without him, other artists like Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka would have more room and opportunity to cause greater harm.
The France U21 international is expected to have a number of suitors, but the Eagles have set a more than reasonable asking price of £50 million, which should deter some. This is a disincentive that is all the more crucial now that Wilfried Zaha, a fan favorite, chose to join Galatasaray rather than remain with his old team.
Michael Olise: How talented is he?
The most famous asset to tread that same path was Ian Wright, who has since cemented himself as a North London favorite, and one of the Premier League‘s most effective forwards for some time.
The 59-year-old played 269 times for the Gunners, scoring 168 goals while doing so, winning one league championship, one League Cup, and two FA Cups. A time of prosperity for such a renowned club was ushered in by his devastating presence, and Olise may now be poised to continue in his footsteps throughout the city.
After all, it seems like Arteta’s team was only inches away from accomplishing something genuinely exceptional last year when the title battle ended.
Now that Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, and Kai Havertz have joined the team, it appears that they will once again be regarded as a force to be reckoned with both domestically and in all of Europe.
Particularly if the 21-year-old trickster is included in the mix and gives the Spanish tactician a backup option in case Gabriel Martinelli or even Saka is having a difficult game.
The Eagles wizard earns £45k per week and leads with creativity, but he never hesitates to abandon his defensive duties, which is what makes someone with his play style so distinctive. His numbers reflect his ability to combine grace and beauty with tireless effort.
According to FBref, the 6-foot-tall star is in the top 7% for assists per 90, the top 15% for tackles per 90, the top 14% for interceptions per 90, and the top 11% for blocks per 90 when measured against other wingers in Europe.
His league performances from the previous year highlighted this, as he managed two goals and 11 assists to lift his team out of the relegation zone that had momentarily endangered them. With the latter number, he actually would have tied Saka as the most inventive player for Arsenal during the previous season.
It is hardly surprising that others have flocked to admire the obscenely gifted boy, with former Reading center-back Michael Morrison remarking that Michael “has the technical ability to play in the Premier League.” He is skilled, has a good touch, is in charge, can pass, and is self-assured.
He is also physically capable of things that other men are not; he moves quickly and glides past opponents. His physical qualities enable him to advance to the Premier League and beyond.
The Athletic’s Ed Malyon, who gave him the simple nickname “Magic,” agreed with this assertion.
Arteta and Edu’s puzzle might finally come together with the help of Olise, giving them a dynamic attacker who can change up his assault and give the supporters another unwavering favorite like Wright.
