It’s Chelsea week. After completing the signing of Moises Caicedo for the historic amount of 133 million euros, the management of the Blues is about to secure the services of Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise.

The French international hopeful should, unless the situation turns around, engage in the next few days with the London formation. Indeed, the two English clubs reached an agreement on Tuesday for a transfer which could be around 40 million euros.

If the duration of the contract and the player’s salary have not yet filtered, it would not be impossible for the Frenchman to sign a long-term lease with the winner of the 2021 edition of the Champions League.

By joining the ranks of the Blues, Michael Olise should have no trouble adapting since he will rub shoulders with no less than 7 French players (Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, Malang Sarr, Wesley Fofana, Benoît Badiashile, Malo Gusto and Lesley Ugochukwu).

Michael Olise will bring real added value to the workforce of Mauricio Pochettino where he should be put in competition with the offensive elements of the Blues.
