The player in question is Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise.
A report at the end of July claimed that the 21-year-old winger would be available for a fee of around £35m this summer.
101 recently covered reports which claimed Olise is the subject of genuine interest from Manchester City, and it is believed Pep Guardiola’s side see him as a potential replacement for Riyad Mahrez.
However, it seems it is another Premier League side – Chelsea – who are leading the race for the winger at present.
According to journalist Rudy Galetti, Chelsea have held talks with Crystal Palace regarding a move for Lewis Hall and they have initiated discussions for Olise as well.
Galetti adds that Chelsea have already agreed personal terms with a 21-year-old French winger and it is up to the two clubs to agree on a deal.
