Crystal Palace’s forward, Michael Olise, may be making a move to Chelsea after the club triggered his £35 million release clause.
The 21-year-old, who recently underwent surgery for a torn hamstring sustained while playing for France U21s, is now free to negotiate personal terms with Chelsea and undergo a medical examination.
While Olise’s decision to engage with Chelsea remains uncertain, the young talent has garnered interest from other clubs, including Manchester City.
Olise showcased his skills last season, contributing to 13 Premier League goals through 11 assists and two goals. His impressive performance earned him the Palace players’ Player of the Season award.
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson expressed uncertainty about Olise’s future, acknowledging that external factors could influence the player’s decision.
Roy Hodgson admitted he was unsure whether Olise would remain at the club this summer and said the forward’s future is “totally out of my hands”.
