Michael Olise bags back-to-back Crystal Palace Player of the Month awards

Nigeria invitee Michael Olise has seen his efforts crowned after being voted Crystal Palace’s Player of the Month award for December.

Olise secured a whooping 31.3% of the vote to make it back-to-back player of the Month awards after winning it in November before the league went on World Cup break.

His performance against Bournemouth was crucial with an assist as the Eagles ran out comfortable victory.

Eligible to play international football for Nigeria, Algeria, England, and France, Olise was snubbed for a World Cup outing and shifted his focus on enjoying friendly games with Palace.

The gifted midfielder went with Crystal Palace to Turkey to participate in the Eagles’ mid-season trip and starred against the likes of Napoli, Botafogo, and Real Valladolid. Palace avoided defeat in three of those games, losing only to a Victor Osimhen-inspired Napoli (3-1 to the Italians) on December 11.

Eze followed in second place with 21.3% of the votes while Ayew came in third with 13.1%.
