The race to sign Michael Olise is heating up, with Chelsea in the driving seat having reportedly agreed personal terms with the Crystal Palace star.
Olise’s creative output last season was impressive, with the 21-year-old becoming the first ever Palace player to notch 10 assists in a single campaign. It’s this return that has caused some of the Premier League’s top clubs to pursue the Frenchman, and Chelsea have led the pack ever since an agreement was reached in principle in late July.
Chelsea aren’t the only club to have actively pursued the Palace creator this window, with Manchester City hot on their heels throughout the summer. According to reports, the departure of forward Riyad Mahrez to Al-Ahli has left Pep Guardiola keen to bring in Olise as a replacement.
