Crystal Palace have beaten the likes of Liverpool to what could be one of the signings of the summer.

According to 90min, Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were one of several Premier League sides eyeing Michael Olise.

On Thursday, however, the Eagles won the race for the 19-year-old’s signature ahead of Liverpool and other clubs.

Olise has signed a five-year contract at Selhurst Park after moving from Reading for a reported £8million.

And plenty of Palace fans are absolutely ecstatic with the news:

Olise is a left-footed attacking midfielder who spent time at Chelsea and Manchester City as a youngster but came through the ranks at Reading.

A strong dribbler with an eye for a through-ball, Olise was the primary creator for his team last term.

He made 44 Championship appearances for the Royals last season, bagging seven goals and 12 assists.

His efforts saw him win the EFL’s Young Player of the Season award.
