Exclusive: Olise prefers Arsenal

FootballTransfers has been told that Michael Olise would rather join Arsenal than Manchester United amid reports of the latter plotting a summer move for him.

Olise would be a potential replacement for Jadon Sancho, whose loan move to Borussia Dortmund is a done deal, according to German media.

Man Utd are so desperate to get rid of him that they are willing to pay a fortune for him to move.

Olise is just one of many potential options to replace Sancho at Old Trafford.
