Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger spotted delivering advice to Crystal Palace midfielder Olise

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been spotted speaking Crystal Palace midfielder Michael Olise.

Wenger met with Crystal Palace manager and former Gunners captain Patrick Vieira with Olse and Odsonne Edouard present.

Olise received a small but valuable piece of advice from Wenger. Vieira signed Olise last summer from Queens Park Rangers after the 20-year-old scored seven times and assisted 12 as a teenager in the Championship.

This season he's currently without a goal and with two assists in 10 matches, but he did catch the eye of FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development.

In a video that surfaced online, Wenger can be heard saying to Olise, "Faut marquer plus de buts", or "need to score more goals."

Despite his London roots, Olise is a France U21 international.

Vieira can also be heard saying "Saturday..." and tailing off towards the end of the video. With Palace meet Southampton this weekend.
