Leeds United are among the five giant English Premier League clubs set to splash it out in the summer to sign Reading midfielder Michael Olise, who has been named on the Super Eagles standby list for this month's Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
According to Football Insider, Leeds United are monitoring the situation of Olise but are aware several top-flight teams are interested in his signature.
The Whites have to see off competition from three of the top six clubs namely Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool to land the 19-year-old, while Crystal Palace have also been credited with an interest.
Olise is under contract with Reading until the end of next season and the Royals are keen to tie him down to a new contract in order to push up his asking price but the player wants to move on to greener pastures.
A former France U18 international, he is having a fantastic season at Reading, with a goal involvement of 15 (5 goals, 10 assists) in 35 appearances in the Championship.
It is claimed that Olise has an £8 million release clause in his contract with Reading.
