‘We need one more Nicolas Jackson’ Chelsea are seriously keen to sign £8m Premier League star
The situation involving Michael Olise and Chelsea is indeed quite interesting. While there were initial reports of a £39 million bid from Chelsea, David Ornstein, a highly reliable source, denied the specific bid but confirmed that Chelsea holds a “concrete” interest in the Crystal Palace winger.
Olise had a standout season in 2022/23, providing 11 assists and scoring two goals in 37 Premier League appearances for Crystal Palace. His impressive performances have caught the attention of Chelsea, who see him as a valuable addition to improve their attack.
The potential deal could be facilitated by Chelsea’s existing strong relationship with the Olise family, as the player’s younger brother, Richard Olise, is currently part of Chelsea’s academy. This connection has given Chelsea confidence that a deal can be reached for the 21-year-old France Under-21 international.
Although a formal bid has not been made yet, Chelsea’s genuine interest in Olise makes it a situation to keep a close eye on, as the winger could potentially return to Stamford Bridge this summer if negotiations progress positively.
