​DONE DEAL: Reading whizkid Olise joins Crystal Palace as Vieira's first signing

Crystal Palace have signed Reading midfielder Michael Olise.

The 19-year-old, who scored seven league goals last season, becomes the club's first signing under new manager Patrick Vieira.

Olise has signed a five-year contract with Palace after they paid an undisclosed fee - which is a record sale for Reading.

"It's a big moment - Premier League football," he said.

"It's a great club and I'm very excited to be here. Good players, a good manager, so I'm ready to start."
