What the expert says...
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.

Crystal Palace now 6/1 to be relegated this season
With Wilfried Zaha leaving to join Galatasaray on a free transfer last month and Olise potentially leaving too it leaves Crystal Palace in a tough situation just a week before the season starts.
Olise is out injured for the next couple of months anyway so even if he stays the first part of the season could potentially prove tricky for Roy Hodgson's men.
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.
| Premier League Relegation 23/24 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Luton Town | 4/11 | 73.3% |
| Sheffield Utd | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Nottingham Forest | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Bournemouth | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Everton | 11/4 | 26.7% |
