The Blues are expected to be active in the market, aiming to address up to five positions: These players include the goalkeeper, left back, centre back, winger, and striker jobs.
However, currently, the primary concerns of the recruitment team have shifted slightly and it is now focused on addressing certain positions. Summer could again bring radical changes in the construction of the team as a result of a constant replenishment of the lineup.
The Blues are supposedly interested in snapping up Michael Olise this summer. Explaining the later, Simon Phillips states that Chelsea’s co-director of recruitment and talent, Joe Shields, is particularly enthusiastic about the transfer.
Some of the members of the club are upbeat that they can clinch the deal.
Manchester United is also keen on Olise, and the £60 million release clause of the player has been another point of discussion. It will be a surprise to some figures in Chelsea if Olise was not to join the club, especially this coming after his brother Richard Olise inked a fresh deal to stay put with the club.
The nature of Olise’s signing proves yet again that Chelsea has adopted the policy of signing young talents who can contribute to the team immediately. About Olise the club feels that the kind of player he is and the number of positions he is able to play would greatly enhance their attacking lineup.
This ability to play in any of the front line positions could have been significant convenience for a new head coach in terms of altering formation and game plans dependent on opponents and game conditions.

Finally, signing Olise would be a big statement for Chelsea, especially knowing that Manchester United is also interested in him. The rivalry for his signature is indicative of his high value among the fans and clubs in the Premier League.
Recent tests have shown that many clubs have been interested in Olise’s performances for Crystal palace but according to summaries, Chelsea is in the best stand to command the signing of this star.
The potential signing of Olise can be said to align well with Chelsea’s overall strategy of player acquisitions under Stewart and Winstanley. These co-sporting directors have the ambition to compile a team who will be able to perform at the highest level, both nationally and in the European leagues.
