With reports of Manchester City’s interest in Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, former City player Micah Richards has expressed his belief in Olise’s potential to become a top player in the future. Despite Olise signing a new contract with Crystal Palace last summer, there has been speculation about the possibility of him making a move elsewhere.

During a recent episode of The Rest Is Football, Richards praised Olise and predicted a bright future for the young Frenchman. According to Richards, Olise has the potential to become world-class if he is given the right guidance and allowed to express himself on the field. Pointing out Olise’s exceptional talent, Richards believes that he has the ability to reach the very top and become a superstar in the football world.

Since joining Crystal Palace in 2021, the 22-year-old winger has made 81 appearances for the club, scoring 12 goals and providing 22 assists. His impressive performances have earned him a strong season rating of 7.7/10 from WhoScored, making him the highest-rated player at Palace. Olise’s goal-creating actions per 90 minutes also stand out, as he has the highest rate in the team.

Given Olise’s potential and the impact he has had on Palace, Richards believes that joining a better team could see him reach even greater heights in his career. With 10 league games under his belt this season, Olise has scored six goals and delivered three assists, showcasing his ability to make a significant impact on the pitch.

If Manchester City feels that they can provide Olise with the opportunity to grow and develop into the kind of player Richards believes he can become, it seems like a move to sign him in the summer could be beneficial for both parties. With his potential and ability, Olise could be an exciting addition to City’s squad, and his partnership with other talented players could see him flourish and fulfill the expectations placed upon him.
