CHELSEA are genuinely interested in signing Michael Olise from Crystal Palace this summer, that is according to the hugely reliable David Ornstein
There are still a few weeks left of the summer transfer window and Mauricio Pochettino is looking to get one or two final deals done to complete his summer of signing.
The Boss is also keen to get rid of a few players this transfer windows as that Blues squad is simply too big – so until that happens – those new players will not be able to complete a move to Stamford Bridge.
However that has not stopped the speculation that the club are looking at wrapping up another transfer signing.
WHAT IS THE LATEST –
a story from RMC Sport in France claimed that we made a £39m bid for the Crystal Palace No.7 in the last few days, But while Ornstein denied claims that an offer has been made, he did confirm that the club hold a “concrete” interest in Olise.
The Athletic’s Football Correspondent told Rio Ferdinand’s FIVE YouTube channel: “I was led to believe a bid has not come in for Michael Olise but Chelsea do have concrete interest.”
SHOULD CHELSEA SIGN OLISE?
All the wingers, all that attacking quality that Pochettino now has at the club – we simply cannot see where Olise would fit into that starting squad at Stamford Bridge.
He is a man that is predominately a winger and we are already stocked in that department – so right now, he is not needed.
