Michael Olise continues to show at Crystal Palace why he is highly rated and in-demand after his latest Premier League outing.

Michael Olise continued his remarkable form under new Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner by producing another dazzling display in the 3-1 win at Wolves.

The young Super Eagles-eligible star scored one and assisted another at Molineux to take his impressive tallies for the season to 10 goals and five assists in just 18 Premier League appearances.

It came hot on the heels of the 22-year-old's 16-point haul in the Fantasy Premier League last weekend, which earned his 169,845 owners a huge bonus.

Olise followed that up with a 12-point return against Wolves, netting his side's opening goal before teeing up partner in crime Eberechi Eze for the third.

Michael Olise is the first Crystal Palace player to register three goal involvements in more than one Premier League game (one goal, two assists), having done so before when he assisted three goals in April 2023.

His all-round performance of scoring, creating and general midfield artistry was simply too much for the hosts to handle.

Olise has taken his game to new heights since Glasner's arrival, with the Austrian getting a tune out of Palace's array of attacking talents at his disposal.

The former Frankfurt boss has implemented a more progressive, front-foot style that appears to be suiting Olise's creative strengths at the Eagles.

It certainly looks like the stage is set for the skilful playmaker to properly announce himself as one of the Premier League's brightest prospects over the remainder of the campaign.

Olise is finally delivering on the potential that has seen Manchester United and other elite clubs track his development from a young age at Reading.

While he may have flown under the radar at times at Selhurst Park, his recent explosive form has seen Olise quickly emerge as a player in demand.

Reports linking him with a big-money move to Old Trafford refuse and that form from the Eagles star, who could still represent Nigeria on the international scene, proves just why.
