3 wingers Arsenal should target this summer

3. Michael Olise 

Perhaps the most familiar name to Arsenal fans, Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise has enjoyed another solid season in the Premier League. He has two goals and eight assists in 29 appearances this term after contributing two goals and five assists in 26 Premier League appearances last season. He has mostly been used as a right-winger at Selhurst Park, but has also seen time in the middle of the park as an advanced central midfielder. We know that Arteta values versatile players, and Olise certainly fits that description.

For his position, he ranks in the 89th percentile in tackles and interceptions, as well as the 81st percentile in successful take-ons. While he leaves something to be desired in terms of his finishing ability, he doesn’t turn 22 until December and excels as a dribbler and creator as well as being an excellent defensive contributor for his position.

According to Daily Cannon, Arsenal view Olise as the ideal backup to Saka. Crystal Palace likely look at Olise as one of their building blocks for the future, so any move for him would likely require a significant transfer fee.
