Crystal Palace struck gold with “superb” gem who’s now worth 650% more
The young talent has developed into a key player for Palace.
In recent years, Crystal Palace have developed an excellent transfer strategy that allows them to pick up bargains every window.
However, they have also proven to be successful at developing those talents into top players, which will now be the task of new boss Oliver Glasner.
Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze are two examples of their brilliant recruitment, and they are hoping Daniel Munoz and Adam Wharton will continue this run.
That said, there’s one player that stands out who has seen their market value increase since joining the club.
What Palace paid for Michael Olise
Prior to his move to Palace, Michael Olise was playing his football for Reading in the Championship, the club he made his professional debut at, which was in a 3-0 defeat to Leeds United in 2019.
However, it would be two seasons later that he really started to show his class and immense quality, as over his first two campaigns, the winger made 23 appearances in the second division, picking up just one assist.
That said, during the 2020/21 he announced himself as one of the most exciting talents in England, boasting an incredible record of seven goals and 12 assists in 37 starts, playing as both an attacking midfielder and a winger.
The following summer, Patrick Vieira decided to splash £8m on the left-footed ace, in what has proved to be one of the best steals in recent Premier League history.
Michael Olise’s market value in 2024
Since arriving at the Eagles, Olise has continued to develop as a player, and despite the step up to the Premier League often being overwhelming, the now-22-year-old wasn’t fazed one bit.
The number seven had his minutes managed in the first season, starting just 12 games but playing 26 matches in the league, with a record of two goals and five assists.
