‘All in’: Chelsea completely committed to signing 22-year-old, he’s open to the move - journalist
Journalist Simon Phillips has now claimed that Chelsea have set their sights on signing one player from the Premier League.
He took to Twitter to state that the Blues were now committed to returning to the signing of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, with the player still open to the move.
Olise has enjoyed arguably his best form when fit this season, finding the net at a far greater rate than before in his top flight career.
Chelsea will be one of the sides more than aware of this, after he scored against them and toyed with an out-of-position Levi Colwill at Stamford Bridge.
He was reportedly very close to actually playing his football in this part of London this season, with the Blues looking to sign him last summer.
The deal got as far as the release clause being activated, however the Frenchman ended up signing a new contract to stay at Selhurst Park for now.
Chelsea all in for Olise
However, the Blues are seemingly still pushing for a deal to be pulled off. Phillips has claimed they are 100% committed to signing Olise.
He said: “Michael Olise completely open to joining Chelsea (his brother plays here). Blues put a lot of groundwork in on this already.
“Other clubs keen, but no decisions even close from him and his reps yet. Chelsea all in for Olise.”
If the Blues had completed the deal for the winger last summer, it is likely they will not have ended up with the deal for Cole Palmer on deadline day from Manchester City.
Given how impressive he has been for the Blues since he joined, many will see it as somewhat of a blessing in disguise how the situation panned out.
A return to sign Olise would likely be welcome though, given the fact that he has already shown promising signs at the top level.
