England eyeing Crystal Palace star Michael Olise
Highly-rated winger impresses Gareth Southgate with superb performances
Olise in contention for Three Lions call-up
England manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed that Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise is on his radar after a string of impressive displays for the Eagles.
The 21-year-old has been in scintillating form for Patrick Vieira's side this season, scoring four goals and providing nine assists in all competitions.
Olise's performances have not gone unnoticed by Southgate, who is keeping a close eye on the player's progress.
"Michael Olise is a player we are aware of and have been monitoring for some time," Southgate said. "He is a very talented young player who is performing well for Crystal Palace.
"He has the potential to be a top player and we will continue to track his progress."
Olise is eligible to play for England or Nigeria, but he has previously expressed his desire to represent the Three Lions.
If he continues to perform at a high level, he could be in contention for a call-up to the England squad for the upcoming World Cup.
