"It makes sense": Darren Bent urges Mikel Arteta to sign Premier League youngster

Darren Bent has urged Arsenal to bring Crystal Palace midfielder Michael Olise to the Emirates. The pundit is 'impressed' with the 20-year-old's performances and believes he's 'the type of Mikel Arteta'. Speaking to Sky Sports Soccer Saturday (via Footbal 356), Bent claimed:

“We know he likes young players and this kid has really impressed me.   "For large spells I thought it was just all about Wilfried Zaha and Eze but at the moment he has himself into the team and been sensational.   “He can go past people, he has a nice range of passing, he can score a goal and his final delivery has been lovely. I think he is a top player.   “It makes sense – if you look at what Mikel Arteta has done in the transfer market at the start of the season, all the players were 24 or younger. He fits that kind of mould.   “The only thing you would say is where would he play because in those front areas, Arsenal are quite loaded.   “Someone of that quality, it doesn’t surprise me to see Arsenal and those top sides interested.”
