‘Pole position’: Chief correspondent confirms transfer likelihood as Liverpool could miss out

Michael Olise is the toast of the Premier League following yet another exemplary campaign for Crystal Palace.

The Englishman amassed 10 goals and six assists in 2023/24. Notably bettering his tally of 13 goal contributions last term despite having missed half of the league season with a hamstring injury.

The 22-year-old had been the subject of heavy interest from Manchester City last year – even enjoying links with rivals Liverpool (Metro) – though he appears potentially destined for an alternative destination.
