Crystal Palace star midfielder Michael Olise has reportedly rejected a chance to move to Arsenal in the summer in favour of continuing his development with the Eagles.
Michael Olise has been one of the best players for Crystal Palace this season. His creativity, dribbling ability and vision have been fundamental parts of the Eagles' attack throughout the campaign.
The Frenchman was once again in sparkling form as Palace moved a step closer to survival with a 2-0 win over Southampton at the weekend.
Michael Olise rejects Arsenal
Olise's recent form has attracted interest from a host of clubs including league leaders Arsenal but the winger looks set to stay in South London according to The Sun.
The 21-year-old feels settled at Crystal Palace and wants to continue to develop with regular game time before even considering his next step.
Olise joined Crystal Palace from Reading in 2021 and has been an explosive creative force with two goals and eight assists in 30 Premier League appearances this season.
