Crystal Palace have announced the signing of Reading teenager Michael Olise.
Olise has signed a five-year contract with the club as Palace’s first arrival since Patrick Vieira’s appointment as manager.
"It’s a big moment - Premier League football. It’s a great club and I’m very excited to be here. Good players, a good manager, so I’m ready to start," said the teenager.
Manager Patrick Vieira added: “We have the tools in our football club to make him a better player, and we’ve known him quite well because he’s a player the football club have been following for a long time. I think it is important to refresh the squad, to bring some new faces, to bring young talent here, and this is a really good signing for us."
