Top scouts from Liverpool observe Michael Olise during their most recent transfer mission.
Michael Olise, a sensation at Crystal Palace, is being closely watched by Liverpool.
Top scouts from the Merseysiders recruitment team have been watching the 22-year-old regularly.
He scored two goals in Saturday’s 3-1 Premier League victory over Brentford.
Liverpool is evaluating the Frenchman as a possible offensive target while
they research the market for long-term Mohamed Salah (31) replacements.
Although he is anticipated to remain at Anfield through the January transfer window,
a summer transfer is very likely because Saudi Arabia wants the
Egyptian superstar to be the Pro League’s biggest star.
Leading Premier League teams are showing a lot of interest in Olise after
he triumphantly returned to action after missing the first three months
of the season due to a hamstring injury.
In August, he signed a four-year contract with Palace after receiving offers
from Chelsea and Manchester City.
Even after the Blues triggered the elusive winger’s rumored £35 million release clause,
Olise chose to stay at the Palace.
It’s interesting to note that Liverpool has been closely monitoring Olise’s
development for the past five years, starting when the extraordinarily
talented 17-year-old made his Reading debut.
He has excelled in a variety of positions, such as midfielder, number 10 on the field,
wide on both wings and even as a false nine or center-forward.
He has primarily been used this season as a right-sided forward cutting in on his left foot of preference.
