Michael Olise agrees terms with Chelsea

Crystal Palace appear set for an interesting transfer window after it emerged that Michael Olise has a verbal agreement with Premier League rivals, Chelsea.

The player had been close to joining the Blues once before, only for Eagles owner, Steve Parish, to persuade him that his future lay at Selhurst Park.

They lost just three games under the Austrian at the back end of 2023/24, winning six of their last seven Premier League matches according to WhoScored.

Those games included a victory over Liverpool at Anfield, a 5-2 demolition of West Ham, a 2-0 win over Newcastle, a 4-0 victory over Man United and a final day thumping of Aston Villa 5-0.

That would suggest that, perhaps, Olise is only intent on moving to Stamford Bridge for the money, because Glasner showed in the short space of time he worked with the player and his team-mates last season that he was able to get each and every one playing well above themselves.
