Chelsea is eyeing Crystal Palace's Michael Olise as they look to strengthen their attacking lineup, having cooled their interest in Nigeria's Victor Osimhen. Olise, who had another standout season with Crystal Palace, has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Chelsea and Premier League champions Manchester City.
Olise, a France youth international, had an impressive run in the 2023-24 Premier League season, scoring 10 goals in 19 appearances. Although he was sought after last summer, Olise chose to extend his contract with Crystal Palace until 2027. Despite this long-term deal, Chelsea is determined to lure the talented forward in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Chelsea has reportedly begun discussions with Olise's representatives to secure his agreement on a contract before negotiating a transfer fee with Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old, who has been with Crystal Palace since 2021, is nearing his 100th appearance for the club across all competitions. Olise, along with his teammate Eberechi Eze, who is also eligible to play for Nigeria's Super Eagles, forms a dynamic duo that has significantly boosted Palace's performance.
As Chelsea aims to add Olise to their squad, they recognize the substantial fee he would command, given his value to Crystal Palace. Nonetheless, they see him as a vital addition to their attacking options as they prepare for the next season.
