Arsenal are seemingly looking into ways to bolster their attack a bit this summer.
Indeed, while the Gunners have been deadly going forwards for large period of this season, there is a bit of an issue in terms of the north London club’s attacking roster.
Simply put, there’s no depth behind Bukayo Saka down the right flank, and that means that the Englishman has to play pretty much every game for Arsenal, and, ultimately, that could lead to burnout.
Luckily, it looks as though Arsenal are sounding out options, and one player they’re reportedly keen on is someone who Patrick Vieira is a big fan of.

According to The Guardian, Arsenal are looking at Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise.
The Frenchman, of course, worked with Vieira during his time at Crystal Palace, and it’s fair to say he was a big fan, describing him as a special talent with a fantastic work ethic.
“When you look at the last round and this one, he played well. He can score goals, create chances and he is a special talent,” Vieira said.
“He will improve and get better as a player. His work ethic every day has been terrific since he has been at the football club.”
Patrick Vieira’s seal of approval
Seals of approval at a club like Arsenal don’t come much bigger than this.
An endorsement from a player like Vieira counts for a lot at a club like Arsenal, the former Palace boss is one of the Gunners’ greatest legends, and if he says you’re a special talent, you probably have something about you.
Of course, whether or not Arsenal ultimately do make a move for Olise remains to be seen, but this would be a smart signing if the Gunners were able to pull it off.
