Michael Olise is good enough to replace Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
That’s the view of talkSPORT’s Gabby Agbonlahor who expects the Crystal Palace star to earn a big move this summer.
The football world watched on on Friday night as Mbappe confirmed his plans to leave the French giants this summer with a verbal agreement already reached to take him to Real Madrid.
While the Spanish giants will be delighted to attract one of world football’s biggest stars, it means that PSG have a giant hole to fill in their side.
Joining Crystal Palace from Reading in 2021, Olise has turned into one of the Premier League’s most talented stars having scored 10 times and offering five assists in just 18 matches this season.
The 22-year-old is known to have a £60million release clause in his contract at Selhurst Park, with talkSPORT understanding that both Manchester City and Manchester United are keen.

Asked if Olise could play in the Champions League for Man City, Agbonlahor told talkSPORT: “Olise? 100 per cent.
“If I had to choose one out of Eze and Olise I’d choose Olise. They’re both outstanding players.
“Olise is 22 now, wanting to get into the France squad – with Mbappe leaving I think he’d be perfect for PSG. I rate him that highly.
“The goals that he’s scoring, he’s got that good arrogance where he gets on the ball and says ‘I’m going to shoot from there, it’s what I do’.

“With a release clause of £60million there’s going to be so many clubs trying to get him.
“Spurs would love him. Arsenal would love him. Aston Villa would be dying for him, Man United, they’re crying out for him.
“Give them Antony! £60million plus Antony, there you go!
“Liverpool would leave him with Mohamed Salah leaving. Could Liverpool mould him into more of a winger who plays more in the middle like Salah does?
“He’s a top, top player and if I’m a Crystal Palace fan I’m thinking it’s going to be one of those summers.”
Palace’s final game of the season comes against Aston Villa on Sunday, May 19 – a match that could prove to be Olise’s last game for the Eagles.
