Crystal Palace could sign ideal Olise replacement in £32m “1v1 specialist”
Crystal Palace feel like they are on the precipice of something great with Oliver Glasner at the helm.
The Austrian has extracted so much more from his squad over the last few months, and with the right additions this summer, the club could take a real leap forward in the Premier League next season.
However, the incredible football the South Londoners played in the last few weeks of the season has only increased the number of outside parties looking to sign their best players, including Michale Olise, who has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea recently.
According to a report from The Palace Way earlier this month, Crystal Palace are interested in bringing Norwegian wonderkid Antonio Nusa to England this summer.
The report revealed that the Eagles can expect to pay a fee similar to the one Brentford agreed for the youngster in January before their deal collapsed, around £32m.
It might be an expensive transfer for someone so young, but based on his performances in Belgium this season and the way he is spoken about by people in the know, Nusa looks like a player worth spending big on.Why Nusa would be a good Olise replacement
Now, before getting into why the Club Brugge gem would be a great signing to replace Olise, there are a couple of things to mention.
The first is that while Nusa has primarily played on the left this season, he has started ten club games on the right in the last couple of years and in Glasners 3-4-2-1 system, he’d likely be asked to play one of the hybrid attacking midfield roles anyway, like the former Reading ace.
