Olise has been [on the Eagles’ radar since January and looks set to become Patrick Vieira’s first signing](https://theathletic.com/news/crystal-palace-transfer-michael-olise-reading/EI7twbmunSFo) as Palace boss.

The teenager has already made [73](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michael-olise/leistungsdaten/spieler/566723) senior appearances for Reading and is [valued at £13.5m by Transfermarkt – the sixth highest in the second tier](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michael-olise/marktwertverlauf/spieler/566723).
