Chelsea to move for £60m Crystal Palace star Michael Olise regardless of manager hunt
Chelsea were interested in Michael Olise last summer before the French winger extended his Crystal Palace contract but the French ace has continued to impress at Selhurst Park.
Chelsea will move for £60million Michael Olise – regardless of who they make their new manager.
Kieran McKenna, Roberto de Zerbi, Enzo Maresca and Thomas Frank remain in the frame with a decision expected next week. But the Blues are desperate not to miss out 22-year-old Olise and are preparing to move for Crystal Palace ’s prize asset regardless.
Chelsea ’s owners want to retain their aggressive, bold transfer policy of bringing in players with the head coach focusing on preparing the team. Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool also want Olise with United and the Gunners set to have the edge as the versatile attacker is keen to play Champions League football.
But that will not deter Chelsea who remain hugely impressed by his goals, his assists and his consistent high level of performance. The west Londoners have a long-standing interest in Olise, who scored 10 times from just 14 league starts, assisting six times.
