Crystal Palace young forward, Michael Olise could be the latest player to be added to Mauricio Pochettino’s team this summer.
The Blues have bid £39million for Olise, with the young Crystal Palace star said to be keen on the move, according to RMC Sports.
Chelsea may however battle the likes of Manchester City, who view the winger as a potential replacement for Riyad Mahrez, who has agreed a move to the Saudi Pro League.
Mahrez is set to leave the Etihad having agreed a £34.7m move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.
RMC Sports in France claimed that not only have Chelsea made a bid but also that the player has been ‘seduced by the project’ at the west London side.
The 21-year-old is an underrated Premier League young talent who has enjoyed a meteoric rise since joining Crystal Palace from Reading for £8m just two years ago.
Last season, he scored two goals, including a stunning free-kick against Manchester United, but more notably recorded 11 assists.
