Attacker Michael Olise said its a dream come true to sign for Crystal Palace and have opportunity to play in the premier league.
Olise became first signing under new manager Patrick Vieira after joining from Reading on Thursday.
The 19-year-old scored seven goals and created 12 assists for Reading last season in the championship last season.
Olise has signed a five-year contract, securing his service to the club until summer 2026 and has been offered the new No. 7 jersey for next campaign.
Speaking to the media after his transfer, and Olise said new manager Patrick Vieira played a crucial role in his decision to join.
“I had a conversation with the manager and he was talking about how he sees me in the team: the plans, the development and the vision for the club,” Olise told Palace TV. “It’s very good, so I thought it was a good fit.
“It’s a big moment: Premier League football. The Premier League is known to be the top league in the world, so it’s definitely going to be a lot tougher. But nothing that I’m not ready for.” he said.
