Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise is free
speak with Chelsea after his £35m release clause was met; The 21-year-old is currently out injured after having surgery on a torn hamstring sustained on international duty

Chelsea are understood to have activated Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise’s
release clause.

The clause thought to be £35m. Chelsea can now speak to the player to discuss personal terms and conduct a medical.

The decision rests with Olise if he wants to talk to Chelsea.

The 21-year-old is currently out injured after having surgery on a torn hamstring sustained playing for the France U21s.

Speaking last week on the eve of the new Premier League season, Roy Hodgson admitted he was unsure whether Olise would remain at the club this summer and said the forward’s future is “totally out of my hands”.
