Crystal Palace boss Hodgson admits Arsenal target Olise could be tempted away

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson concedes they risk losing Michael Olise this summer.

The France U21 midfielder is being watched by Arsenal.

Asked if he was worried that Olise could be on the move this summer, Hodgson replied: “If I was Steve Parish I would be.

“But I’m Roy Hodgson for the next few weeks and I wish them all well. I don’t have any conversations regarding contracts and what the club wants to do.

“If ever they need an opinion from me I know they’ll ask for it but I certainly won’t be preferring it.”

Hodgson also commented on where Olise can improve.

“I think he needs to get more goals,” the manager added. “He’s got goals in him. He cut inside on his left foot on a few occasions and got good strikes away.

“But all the time he’s producing those goals for us like he’s doing, we’re more than happy with him. He’s another player I see getting better in terms of doing things we want him to do.”
