Chelsea is focused on signing Crystal Palace's winger

Chelsea continues to work on signing French winger Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, as reported by The Athletic.

Currently, Chelsea is fully focused on completing the transfer of this player, hence the club has decided to pause the search for a striker. Interest from John Duran exists but is not prioritized further at this time. Additionally, Chelsea is not willing to let winger Noni Madueke go if they manage to sign Michael Olise. The club intends for both players to ultimately compete for a starting position.

Recently, we reported that 17-year-old right-back Pedro Lima will move from Sport Recife to the London club Chelsea. It is expected that immediately after the transfer, Pedro Lima will be sent on loan to Strasbourg, which is owned by the same owners as Chelsea.

By the way, Crystal Palace has received requests from three top clubs - Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Newcastle - for permission to negotiate with Michael Olise's representatives.
