Michael Olise has garnered the attention of Europe's elite clubs and we've priced up a market on who the Frenchman will be playing for on 5th September 2024.
Injuries had hindered Olise's 2023/24 campaign but the Crystal Palace winger showcased his exceptional talent when available, returning 16 goal involvements across 14 starts in the Premier League last season.
The 22-year-old has attracted interest from a multitude of top Premier League clubs and even a collection of European powerhouses are reportedly keeping tabs, including PSG.

Olise made his professional breakthrough with Reading in 2019 and was named EFL Young Player of the Season at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.
A move to the Premier League beckoned, with Crystal Palace sealing an £8million deal and Olise made a seamless transition into England's top flight, demonstrating his array of skill and versatility.
Only Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah and Leandro Trossard registered more assists than Olise in the 2022/23 Premier League and unfortunately for Palace, such productivity doesn't go unnoticed.
Olise was the subject of a transfer to Chelsea - a club that Olise left at 14 after seven years in their youth system - in the summer of 2023, with the Blues reportedly activating his £35m release clause.
But in a sensational turn of events, Olise opted to reject Mauricio Pochettino's side and instead signed a new four-year contract with the Eagles.
Despite his impressive statistics, months of the previous season were stop-start for Olise, with the forward suffering from a recurring hamstring injury; not that his ailments have prevented a number of clubs from queueing for his services.
Chelsea, now under the stewardship of Enzo Maresca, are the new favourites to secure Olise's signature in the upcoming transfer window.
Crystal Palace are second in the betting to retain the 22-year-old and while new boss Oliver Glasner would prefer to assemble a team around his prize talent, the Eagles may reluctantly sell if a significant offer comes in.
Olise's decision to pledge his international allegiance to France may benefit PSG's pursuit of the winger, with the Parisians reportedly another interested party.
