Chelsea now believe that they are set to beat Arsenal to the signing of Micheal Olise. This is with the youngster available for £35 million in this transfer window.
That is according to a report from 90min. It suggests that the Blues think that they are about to win the race. That is to sign the Crystal Palace star ahead of the new campaign.
Michael Olise could prove to be a bargain signing at £35m. The Frenchman actually contributed 11 valuable assists in the Premier League last season. This is as Palace ended the campaign in mid-table. Once Olise moves to a big club that would be where he will thrive and showcase his full potential.
Micheal Olise wants to leave and Chelsea are front runners at the moment
A clause in his contract has opened the door for the big teams to take a look at a move. And 90min claims that Manchester City and Arsenal were both interested in Olise before. But now Chelsea are thought to be leading the race.
However, it is Chelsea who appear to be on course to win the race soon. 90min reports that Mauricio Pochettino’s side are now optimistic. That is of bringing Olise to Stamford Bridge.
It is noted in the report that Olise’s younger brother is already on the books at La Cobham. So that may have played a part in the young star’s decision.
It may seem like a blow to most of Arsenal supporters. The Gunners have enjoyed a very impressive transfer window so far. However, there are a couple of areas where Mikel Arteta’s side surely need more depth on the pitch.
