Chelsea are the odds-on favourites to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace this summer

Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea are now odds-on favourites to sign Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise with reports linking the player with a move across London this summer.

Bookmakers now put Chelsea are 17/20 at the top of the betting market to sign Olise this summer with reports suggesting a move could happen for £35m.

The Athletic reported on Thursday that Olise would be permitted to speak to other interested clubs if Palace received an offer that guaranteed them £35m with a buyout clause included in his contract.

Manchester City have also been linked with a move for Olise in the transfer window

Manchester City have also been linked with signing Michael Olise in recent weeks and they are second favourites in the market to get the player this summer.

City are looking for a replacement for Riyad Mahrez who moved to Saudi Arabia to join Al Ahli last week and that leaves a big gap on the wing to be filled.

Olise has been on City's books in the past with a brief spell in their academy part of the Frenchman's career and he could well make a return to the club.

Olise though was also on Chelsea's books as a youngster so he has previous history with both of the top two clubs rumoured to sign him.

The latest betting odds now make Palace 6/1 to be relegated this season with 8 teams sitting above them in the market to go down to the Championship.
