Mikel Arteta has reportedly added Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise to Arsenal’s transfer wishlist for the summer window.

The French youth international is expected to leave Selhurst Park at the end of this season with interest from across the English top-flight ramping up for the Premier League star.

And Arsenal have been one of the sides regularly linked with a move for Olise, who could be tempted by a move to north London if an offer was to be made.

And according to GiveMeSport, Arteta has now added Olise to Arsenal’s transfer wishlist for the upcoming window, with a winger high up on what the Gunners are looking for this summer.

Lauded as ‘special by former Reading teammate Tom McIntyre, Olise ticks a lot of boxes for what Arsenal are looking for in a wide-forward and competition for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

And with Arteta now adding the 22-year-old to his own wishlist for the summer, there’s a good chance that Arsenal could make a move for Olise heading into the transfer window.

However, interest from other Premier League clubs could be a major issue for Arsenal this summer, and the Gunners will need to put together quite the package if they’re to tempt Olise to the Emirates Stadium.

Olise is one of the most entertaining players in the Premier League, with the French youth international simply a joy to watch when given the space and freedom to express himself.

Yet for Arsenal, there’s a good chance that the north London side could miss out on Olise with many top Premier League sides all chasing the attacker this summer.

The world really is Olise’s oyster heading into the transfer window, and the French youngster will have free reign to decide which team he wants to join after a stellar career at Palace.
