Leicester City Plotting January Move For Chelsea Academy Product Olise

Published: December 20, 2020

Leicester City are planning to make a January move for Chelsea Academy product Michael Olise amid interest from other Premier League clubs, according to reports.

Eurosport claims that the Foxes have identified the Reading playmaker as their alternative target if their move for Celtic's Ryan Christie falls through.

Olise has taken the Championship by storm this season, playing every single game contested by the Royals in the division, including Saturday's 3-1 loss to Brentford where he provided an assist for the consolation goal scored by Nigeria international Sone Aluko.

With four goals and seven assists to his name, the 19-year-old is one of the most productive teenagers in England's top four tiers in the 2020-2021 season.

He has also attracted interest from his former club Chelsea as well as Liverpool, Manchester City and Leeds United.

Leicester City believe Olise will bring extra creativity to the side if they win the race for his signature.

The France youth international of Nigerian descent has entered the final eighteen months of his contract with Reading.
