According to reports in France, the Blues are on the cusp of bringing in one new signing immediately in the form of Michael Olise.

The Crystal Palace star enjoyed an excellent 2022/23 campaign with Crystal Palace, having moved there from Reading in July 2021.

Indeed, to illustrate his abilities, Olise contributed to 13 goals – with 11 of those assists – in 37 Premier League appearances.

Now RMC Sport claims Chelsea have submitted an offer worth £39m to bring Olise to Stamford Bridge.

And with a release clause sitting at £35m, Crystal Palace are powerless to prevent the star making the move.

The Eagles are, understandably, keen to keep the France U21 international, having offered him a new deal on the arrangement that is currently due to expire in 2026
