Ex-Super Eagles invitee joins Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur stars in BBC's PL TOTW
Published: May 14, 2024
BBC Football pundit Gareth Cooks has named his Premier League Team of the Week for the penultimate matchday of the season which came to an end with a thrilling encounter between Aston Villa and Liverpool at the Villa Park on Monday night.
The team includes former Super Eagles invitee Michael Olise, Chelsea forward Cole Palmer, Arsenal centre-back William Saliba and Tottenham Hotspur star Micky van de Ven.
France U21 international Olise starred in the Crystal Palace's victory over Wolves at the Molineux on Saturday, recording one goal and an assist in the encounter.
He opened the scoring with a sublime strike from outside the penalty area and helped Oliver Gasner's side secure the maximum points by assisting Eberechi Eze for his goal in the 73rd minute.
The French-Nigerian winger has now registered four goals and two assists since he returned from injury last month, proving why he is one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League.
Cook's Team of the Week has seven teams represented with Manchester City having the most contributions with three players, Crystal Palace have two while Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham, Aston Villa and Everton have one apiece.
The pundit went for a 3-4-3 formation, with Ederson being named in goal and is being protected by the trio of Saliba, Micky van de Ven and Josko Gvardiol.
Palmer, Thomas Souček, Eberechi Eze and Olise were selected in the midfield with Jhon Duran, Phil Foden and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all named in a three-man attack.
