As Michael Olise has been linked with a transfer to Manchester City, it is interesting to look back upon how much Conor Gallagher lauded him.
Speaking to JD Sports, the Chelsea midfielder, who was on loan at Crystal Palace shed light on what it was like to train and play alongside him.
Conor Gallagher, who himself is a top player lavished praise on to Michael Olise, who could be on his way to signing for Manchester City
What Conor Gallagher said about Manchester City target Michael Olise.
Fabrizio Romano reported on Sunday that Pep Guardiola’s men have shortlisted the 21-year-old as one of their transfer targets, while also revealing that he has a £35 million release clause in his contract.
Clearly, the treble-winners are on the lookout for a replacement for Riyad Mahrez, who looks all but set to join Al-Ahli this summer.
Back in November last year, Conor Gallagher named Manchester City-linked winger Michael Olise as the player he has enjoyed playing with the most, whilst going on to sing his praises.
“He [Olise] was in the academy with Chelsea when we were younger and he was always 2 years below me, so I never really knew what he was like. So, I never knew what to expect when he came to Palace.”
Conor Gallagher went on to reveal what it was like to play alongside Manchester City-linked wideman Michael Olise at Crystal Palace, saying, “But he was just so exciting, even to play with. You’d give the ball to his feet and you’d kind of expect him to go and do something magic. I feel like he’s got such a bright future and yeah, just a joy to play with.”
All one can do is nod their head in agreement with the England international as Olise is one of the most aesthetically pleasing players to watch in the Premier League.
