Michael Olise sends cryptic message following Chelsea transfer talks

Crystal Palace playmaker Michael Olsie has sent a cryptic message on Instagram amid talk of him signing for Chelsea during the summer transfer window

Crystal Palace starlet Michael Olise has taken to social media to send a message amid talk of a transfer to Chelsea.

Their attention now, however, is on Olise, who wants to leave Selhurst Park before the summer transfer window slams shut at the end of August. The France Under-21s international is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury that he sustained back in June and he has now posted an update on social media regarding his rehabilitation process.

Taking to Instagram, the 21-year-old posted a video of him back on the training field doing some light running, alongside a smile emoji, a laughing emoji and a confused emoji. It remains to be seen what exactly Olise's use of emojis means, whether it has anything to do with a proposed move to the Blues or if it was merely just about his fitness.

The player's entourage have been in dialogue with Chelsea in recent days regarding a potential move and while personal terms have not been agreed just yet, they are not thought to be an issue. Negotiating with Palace is likely to prove more difficult, although there is a school of thought that the Eagles have already accepted the fact they might lose the talented youngster, with Manchester City also keen on the player.
