Report: Hammers join chase for Reading starlet

|

West Ham are interested in Reading’s 19-year-old midfielder according to a report by Eurosport

He has made such an impact in the Championship over the past year that he has major clubs in England, Germany, Italy and France now pursuing him.

He passed through Chelsea and Manchester City’s academies and is now widely considered the most exciting talent in the Championship, thanks to his lovely attacking style of play from the centre of the park. Often playing in the No.10 role, Olise loves to drift wide and he is currently on 10 assists for the season – the second-highest number in the division. His contract runs to 2022 but it is expected he will move this summer, given the calibre of teams keen to sign him.
Among them are Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Napoli and Monaco as well as West Ham.
He has been compared with Jack Grealish and that’s the sort of potential Olise has to unleash reports claim.
