Michael Olise, Nigerian-born midfielder, is the talk of the town following a sensational performance for Crystal Palace against Manchester City in the Premier League on Monday night.

After an incredible performance from Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, the game ended goalless.

With some outstanding defence and potent attacking display from the visitors, the hosts held tight to deny a difficult City the three points.

Early on, the Eagles came close to taking the lead when Olise blasted just wide after a sweeping attack in which he ended his performance by sending Phil Foden back to Manchester. 🤭🤭🤭

So impressed with Michael Olise again. Always impressive. On top of that obvious technical talent and mad confidence for someone so young, there is a lot of solid tactical response and an apparent willingness to use his head. He has a really bright future.

Michael Olise in all competitions for Crystal Palace this season:

👕 12 starts (24 apps)
⚽️ 4 goals
🅰️ 7 assists
⏱ 0.84 G+A p90

Viera has a star on his hands.

Olise, who is still only 20, is in the middle of his first season in the Premier League after following the lead of Eberechi Eze and switching from the Championship to Palace in the summer.

He was exceptional in the second division last season, capturing the spotlight with his dribbling and assisting on 19 goals.

Despite just making twenty-two starts in all competitions for Palace, he’s had a promising start, earning four assists and scoring twice, and he appears destined for a great career at the top of the game.

He was born in London and has previously represented France at the U-18 level, with many Nigerians expecting he will follow in the footsteps of Lookman Ademola to represent the country at the senior level.
