Arsenal has outlined ambitious plans to fortify their squad during the upcoming summer transfer window. Among their priorities are acquiring a new center forward, left-back, and central midfielder to enhance their roster. Additionally, there’s a strong indication that the Gunners are eyeing a new winger to bolster their options on the flanks.
One player who has caught Arsenal’s attention is Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise. His creative flair and proficiency in set-pieces have made him a long-standing target for Mikel Arteta’s side. However, despite Arsenal’s interest, it appears that Olise may have other preferences.
Reports from 90min suggest that Olise is eager to join Manchester United this summer. The same report indicates that Chelsea has withdrawn their interest, potentially paving the way for United to secure Olise’s signature. Interestingly, there’s no mention of Arsenal in this report.

From a broader perspective, it seems that Olise was never at the top of Arsenal’s transfer priorities this summer. The club has more pressing needs in other positions before considering a winger, which isn’t an immediate concern for Arteta.
While acquiring Olise would undoubtedly strengthen Arsenal’s creative options, it might be prudent for the club to adopt a wait-and-see approach. They could consider swooping in for Olise only if circumstances dictate the need for additional reinforcements.
