Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has made it crystal clear that he's not willing to let go of his key players, including Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur targets Michael Olise and Ebere Eze.

Olise, who has been a shining light for the Eagles this term despite a couple of significant injury setbacks, has managed an impressive tally of ten goals and five assists from just 18 outings. Meanwhile, his attacking partner Eze has bagged nine goals and five assists in 30 appearances

It's understood by football.london that Arsenal are battling it out with Manchester United to sign Olise, albeit the Gunners are at a disadvantage because he supports Erik ten Hag's side. Eze, meanwhile, is an Arsenal fan however it is Spurs who are keen on his signature.

Nevertheless Glasner, during his latest media briefing, was adamant about his intentions to retain his squad. He stated: "I hope all the players will be here [next season].

"I know the club will do everything to ensure they will play for Crystal Palace next season. I think what we can show from the sports department is that we are ambitious and they can benefit and make a big contribution to being successful.

"That is what we can offer them, the rest we will see." Olise was on the brink of a Chelsea move last summer when the Blues activated his release clause.
