How good has Olise been? We have a real star on our hands. The question is will England call him up before France nick him?

It really has been a delight to watch this lad play football recently.

Taken over from Eze as our silky smooth dribbler and accurate passer of the ball. Eze still looks good with the ball at his feet and will clearly return to his pre injury form with more game time.

But, we have a quality, and potentially star, player in Olise and it's reassuring to hear PV say how he wants to carefully develop him.

He deserves all the awards he's won lately. A tremendous asset for our club.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

By chance does anybody know if Reading have a sell on clause. Because the way this boy is developing some big clubs are going to come knocking offering big money. Fortunately he’s on a five year contract.

He has great poise and balance, and is one of those rare players that make the game look easy and and his play look effortless.

Would you swap him for Grealish tomorrow ? I know I wouldn’t.
The way he is progressing he’ll be worth way more than him. Awesome.
