Chelsea are closing in on the capture of 21-year-old Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, with personal already verbally agreed.
According to Rudy Galetti, Chelsea are currently in advanced talks to sign Michael Olise. The 21-year-old Crystal Palace playmaker has already verbally agreed personal terms with the West London club.
Olise has been a key player for Crystal Palace, scoring twice and picking up 11 assists across all competitions last season. Apparently, the Blues have already agreed personal terms with the player, and talks are at an advanced stage with the Eagles.
The Frenchman is a prodigious talent with a big future ahead of him, and he could be a key player for Chelsea in the long run. The Blues needed to add more quality and creativity in the final third, and the 21-year-old should prove to be a useful option for Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentine manager has a proven track record of nurturing talented young players into established stars. So he could play a key role in the development of the 21-year-old Crystal Palace playmaker.

Chelsea have already secured the signing of Moises Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion to improve their midfield. In addition, they are thought to be closing in on Romeo Lavia from Southampton, with the 19-year-old snubbing Liverpool.
The West London club have already improved their defence earlier on in the window. And signing a quality attacking player like Olise would wrap up an excellent window for them. The Blues finished 12th in the league table last season, and they will look to make amends this season.
They will look to bounce back strongly and get back into the Champions League while competing for domestic trophies. Olise is versatile enough to operate as the central attacking midfielder as well, and he has the technical attributes to develop into one of the best attacking midfielders in the league.
The opportunity to play for a big club like Chelsea can be hard to turn down. So it is no surprise that the player has already agreed verbally personal terms regarding a summer transfer. He will look to take the next step in his career, and playing alongside better players at Stamford Bridge will accelerate his development.
