Michael Olise-Crystal Palace

Rising star Michael Olise plans to stay at Crystal Palace next season - despite growing interest.

The Nigeria-born French magician has been in dazzling form and top clubs in the Premier League including Arsenal are watching him.

And the Eagles midfielder has attracted the attention of multiple Champions League giants too.

However, he is settled with Palace and wants another full season at Selhurst Park to develop and get more consistency.

Palace have the Under-21 international under contract and are happy to know his opinion.

It will also soften the blow if Wilfried Zaha, 30, wants to try his luck and move on at the end of his contract.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are checking on Blackburn’s young midfielder Adam Wharton who signed a new deal in the season despite their interest.

England youth cap Wharton could be tempted by the Premier League even if he would have to be brought through slowly in their squad.

Palace will also be back in the market for old boy Aaron Wan Bissaka who is set to be traded by Manchester United at the end of the season.

It comes as the Eagles' hot form since interim chief Roy Hodgson replaced the sacked Patrick Vieira continued.

Eberechi Eze fired home twice in the second half to clinch Saturday's 2-0 win at bottom side Southampton, leaving Palace 12th.

Meanwhile, Feyenoord chief Arne Slot is the latest name linked with the permanent Eagles' job.

Tottenham and West Ham have also been mentioned in connection with the Dutchman, 44.
