This summer, Chelsea is interested in getting Michael Olise from Crystal Palace and using him in a different position.
That is what Gianluca Di Marzio claims.
The 21-year-old Michael Olise, according to the source, is a “solid” option for the Blues during the current summer transfer window.
According to reports, some Chelsea employees feel the right winger is better suited as an offensive midfielder and may try to use him as a No. 10 if he joins the club.
If Chelsea can work out a deal with Premier League opponents Palace, they shouldn’t have any trouble working out personal issues with the player.
Last Word on Football claimed earlier this week that Chelsea are preparing to make an opening bid for Olise.
“Slight doubt… we have a fight on our hands to make sure he (Olise) stays with us,” Hodson said, as quoted by The Athletic.
Olise is a very imaginative attacker that Ian Wright of ITV Sport called “unbelievable,” according to Foobtall.London.
The Palace trickster typically works from the right flank, but it wouldn’t be entirely unusual to see him slide infield and operate from a central position.
In any Premier League scenario next season, his speed, dribbling, and pass weight might make him a tremendous creative outlet. But will that ultimately benefit Chelsea?
Our opinion is that the 21-year-old has a tremendous career ahead of him, and it should all depend on his transfer fee.
