Why on earth would we be after another pure right sided attacker when we have Madueke, Sterling (who I guess will be deployed there since we have Mudryk on the left) and now Angelo who looks extremely promising? Signing another young right winger makes ZERO sense.

Kudus or Cherki make perfect sense because they can play centrally which is what we need.

I guess the main reason is a financial one, bc he has a rather "cheap" release clause and his value probably will go up in the future means profit in future sales. For the team it doesnt make sense, hope Poch tells them. Kudus yes, Olise no.

Yeah, this feels like it would be a pure club signing rather than one pushed by the manager. A young talent whose value can explode in the future.

Him drawing interest from City I can see. He’d be perfect to replace Mahrez.

Also, Palace losing their two best players in Zaha & Olise would be devastating. Can’t see it.

Buying a player who had a catastrophic injury is also silly. Especially if it’s a hamstring injury as a wide attacker who is all about pace and explosive movement.

Olise is interesting, like a middle ground between Cherki and Kudus, has the defensive side covered well (like Kudus) and puts out serious assist numbers (like Cherki) but suffers from the same lack of goal scoring as Cherki. Would take Kudus if it is between the two of them, but definitely either over Cherki. He’s also a set piece specialist which we are currently lacking.

If we get both surely someone is going out on loan (Angelo?) and someone is up for a last minute sale, maybe Sterling if Poch is contemplating a Mudryk/Maatsen LW?

Chelsea head of recruitment Joe Shields most famous projects : • Jadon Sancho • Michael Olise • Romeo Lavia via @TheAthleticUK

 

Shields moved for Armel Bella-Kotchap from Bochum and he made his Germany debut - this is regarded as a mark of his suitability for the role by Chelsea.

Roy Hodgson expects injured Michael Olise to miss the start of the new season.

The young star suffered a tear to his hamstring while playing for France at last month’s Under-21s Euros, and has since undergone surgery.

It’s a blow for both player and club, with Olise’s best football last season coming once Hodgson returned caretaker manager for Crystal Palace’s final ten games of the season.

“We’ve known since the injury that it’s going to take a while for him to get fit again”, Hodgson revealed. “It was a serious injury which required an operation. He’s well into his rehabilitation but it’s going to take a bit longer for him to recover.

“At the moment we’re just hoping that the rehabilitation will go well and that we get him back as quickly as possible. But we certainly we won’t be seeing him for a period of time.”
