Without a manager, Chelsea continues to be a very busy club in the transfer market, singing to its own tune. The co-sporting directors persist with their campaign in recruiting new talents, not being stopped by the lack of a head coach.
In the run up to the end of the season, Chelsea starts up preparation for the summer business. Many switches are expected to be made in the first team, as football, London reports.
Current reports reveal that Chelsea and Manchester United are leading the race to secure the signing of Crystal Palace’s attacking midfielder Michael Olise as per Fabrizio Romano. The two clubs are interested in Crystal Palace player who comes with a £60 million release clause.
Last year, Chelsea started showing interest in Olise but he extended his contract with Leicester after they had placed a £35million release clause on him the last season.
In particular during this past season, in which he missed more than half due to a recurrence of his broken leg, the London-born Frenchman has seen his stock rise.
He was able to find the back of the net 10 times despite playing only 14 league games as a starter and contributed six assists, an enhancement from his poor feat of two goals in the previous season.
Alongside Ebere Eze, Olise was one of the players who contributed immensely to the strong finish under the management of Oliver Glasner.
Chelsea which has apparently never lacked for choice when it comes to left-footed right-wingers, made an exception for Olise. His talent commands attention. Although other attacking targets may raise questions, it is commendable that pursuing Olise is one of them. Bringing him to Chelsea’s team may seem somewhat unnecessary but would equally prove to boost the current team.
Hence Noni Madueke, Omari Hutchinson, Angelo Gabriel, and Diego Moreira might feel overshadowed but really there is only one player of that kind in the world, and that is Olise.
As it stands, no team wants to be up against him and it has become absolutely vital to find a slot for him. So at £60million, this table shows that Olise isn’t even close to being considered overpriced and is actually quite a steal.
Altogether, potent and unabated continues the process of acquisitions of new players in Chelsea, initiated by the co-sporting directors, as well as headless of the main common head coach. Pochettino’s case reveals how little control future managers may have on transfers taking place in the summer.
Such commitment to the enhancement of the squad remains throughout the year and the club remains active in the search for promising talents like Olise. But rivalry comes tho Manchester United and with so many other skilled right-wingers already on the team’s roster, Chelsea understands the strength and versatility that Olise brings to the table.
