Olise signs four-year Crystal Palace contract amid Chelsea interest
Michael Olise has committed his future to Crystal Palace by signing a new four-year contract amid interest from Chelsea, Eagles owner Steve Parish has confirmed.The news comes a day after it was reported that Chelsea had activated a £35m release clause in Olise's previous contract with Palace.
The French U21 international, who is currently recovering from an injury sustained over the summer, registered 11 assists and scored twice for the Eagles last season.
The news is a blow for Chelsea, who have recently landed high-profile deals for Brighton's Moises Caicedo and Southampton's Romeo Lavia for a combined £173m.
Meanwhile, Palace have avoided the possibility of losing another key player after Wilfried Zaha left for Galatasaray on a free transfer.
