Crystal Palace star tells Chelsea and Manchester City that £60m forward has everything to 'get to the top'

Eberechi Eze has stopped short of confirming if his Crystal Palace teammate Michael Olise is off to Bayern Munich but admitted he’s a player who has everything to reach the very top of world football.

Chelsea were front runners for the French star according to the Guardian, while Manchester City made a desperate late attempt to secure his signature before he decided to swap London for Munich, where he will team up with former Tottenham and England captain Harry Kane and rising star Jamal Musiala.

Olise signed a new deal last August when he turned Chelsea down and allowed Crystal Palace to include a £60 million release clause in his new deal. LondonWorld has been told the move to Bayern is all done and will be announced soon.

Asked what Olise was like, Eze, who is on England duty at the Euros, told talkSPORT in an exclusive interview: “He’s an incredible player. I've enjoyed playing with him for two or three seasons now. He's a top player, top talent with a top mentality. He’s got everything it takes to get to the top and to play at the highest level of football. Whether he’s going there or not [Bayern], he's an incredible player and he's got whatever it takes.”

Tottenham eyeing Eze:

Eze himself has been strongly linked with a move away from Selhurst as Tottenham look to add quality to their midfield ahead of next season. The Eagles finished strongly last season, winning five of their last six games, including beating Liverpool at Anfield.

The price for that strong finish, however, has meant their top players are being targeted by clubs in Europe and the Premier League with high purchasing power. New manager Oliver Glasner will hope that the club is able to resist the sale of both Marc Guehi and Eze after the Olise deal is all but done.
