EPL: Choose Arsenal over Chelsea, Man Utd – Petit urges Super Eagles invitee

Former Arsenal player, Emmanuel Petit has urged 2021 Super Eagles invitee, Michael Olise, to choose the Gunners over Chelsea and Manchester United.

Olise had been linked with a move to Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea this summer.

The Crystal Palace winger enjoyed a brief yet brilliant season for his team.

Injuries limited him to just 13 starts and yet Olise contributed 10 goals and five assists, helping Crystal Palace pull clear of the relegation zone to finish in mid-table.

Speaking about the 22-year-old amid interest from Premier League clubs, Petit told Grosvenor Sport:

“I watched Michael Olise against Manchester United [in Palace’s 4-0 win on May 6] and I thought he was incredible.

“Arsenal should do everything they can to sign him over Man United and Chelsea. He did some tricks during the game – and so did Eze – where in my day they would have left the stadium on crutches.

“If I had to choose I would have both, but Olise is more what Arsenal need on the right-flank. Having both him and Saka would be very good for Arsenal because they still need that and Olise has improved so much over the last few years.

“If I’m Olise, I would d choose Arsenal too as I want ambition in my career and my place is not at Crystal Palace anymore.”
