Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has urged his old club to outbid their Premier League rivals for Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise

In the January window there was significant interest from some big clubs in the France youth international, with a reported £35million release clause in his contract, but he ultimately ended up staying put and penning a new four-year deal at Selhurst Park.

However – there has been alot of speculation in the media that all the big clubs are reportedly interested in a move for the attacker – and could even make a move this coming transfer window.as he is tipped to make a move to one of the big clubs.

And according to a recent report on the sun, they have added Olise’s name to their list of targets as Mikel Arteta has been impressed by the quality and versatility if the winger – who is able to play in a number of positions across the front line.

Despite being limited to just 17 appearances due to injury, Olise has scored nine goals in the Premier League this season and is rated as one of the best young wingers in the Premier League right now.

And amid all the speculation and rumours – Petit has urged his former club to try and sign OLlise – speaking to Grosvenor Casinos (via the Express), Petit said: “I watched Olise against Man United and thought he was incredible.

‘ARSENAL should do everything to sign him over Man United. He did some tricks during the game, and so did [Eberechi] Eze, where in my day they would have left the stadium on crutches. I thought they were taking the p*** and so lucky they play in 2024..

“If I had to choose I’d have both, but Olise is more what Arsenal need on the right-flank. Having both him and [Bukayo] Saka would be very good for Arsenal because they still need that and Olise has improved so much over the last few years.

‘If I’m Olise, I’d choose Arsenal too as I want ambition in my career and my place is not Palace anymore.”
