£60m Crystal Palace star has been told how he could replicate Cole Palmer’s impact at Chelsea should he sign for Man United

The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for Olise ever since last summer. Olise was on the verge of joining Chelsea last August after his £35 million release clause was activated before he put pen to paper on fresh terms at Selhurst Park.

Ever since, United have been tipped to make a move for Olise when the transfer window reopens, with a £60 million price tag being suggested.

Reports from 90min last month claimed that Olise would be interested in a move to Old Trafford should United make their interest genuine.

Now Olise has been told why he would be wise to make a move to United. Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes that Olise could replicate the impact that Palmer has made at Chelsea, should he decide to make the switch to Old Trafford.

Palmer has earned plenty of praise since his move from Manchester City to Chelsea last summer, where he has since scored 26 goals with 14 assists in all competitions for Chelsea.

“Without a doubt, I can see him [Olise] fit in [at United],” said Robinson on BBC Radio 5 Live. “He would go straight into the Manchester United team.

“The way that Cole Palmer has left and gone to Chelsea, somebody like that would go straight into a Manchester United side. For him, if he is to go, he has to go somewhere and he has to play.”

Olise has scored ten goals with five assists in just 18 appearances for Palace this season after he missed the early months of the campaign with a hamstring injury.

It remains to be seen if United’s interest in Olise is genuine, with the performances of the 22-year-old this term likely to see him linked with a move away from Palace this summer
