Arsenal learn Michael Olise transfer fee as release clause claim clarified to Edu

Crystal Palace have reportedly named their asking price for Michael Olise amid links with Arsenal.

Recent months have seen the Gunners heavily linked with a move for Olise when the summer transfer window opens. The versatile forward has scored seven goals with four assists in 15 appearances for Palace this season, in a campaign that has seen him struggle with injuries.

Olise typically performs on the right wing for Palace, an area of the pitch where Bukayo Saka is the established starter for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta could look to target Olise in an effort to increase the squad depth forward department for next season.

According to BBC Sport, Palace will seek at least £60 million in order to consider parting ways with Olise this summer. It has also been stated that the Eagles have named the same price tag for Eberechi Eze, whose future has also been the subject of intense speculation this season.

It was only last August that Olise signed a new long-term contract with Palace. The agreement came after Chelsea had moved to activate the player's release clause thought to be in the region of £35 million, before he committed his future to Selhurst Park.
