According to the online edition of The Sun UK, Crystal Palace have a fight on their hands to keep hold of Olise who is on the radar of Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton, with Lille and Bayern Munich also in the race.

Olise has a past with Chelsea, representing their academy team and joined Reading after his release.

There is no doubt that the former France U18 international, who is also eligible for England, Nigeria and Algeria, has been on fire since the start of 2022, scoring three goals and assisting four others in eight all-competition appearances.

Reacting to the news, several fans questioned the decision to release Olise as a schoolboy while some think the winger will be a good addition to the team.

Here's what they are saying :

@QiblahOkanlawon : "So he his our player, bring him back home now".

@ChelvinEdu : "Olise was one of the best players on the pitch vs Palace. To be be Honest without sentiments he is better than a lot of our attackers starting for us"

@Necklux : "I think it's high time Chelsea's Football Academy should be investigated, you can't just do away with Olise, Musiala and Tomori".

@Elisha__Tom : "Olise was in Chelsea academy, this Club has the best academy products walahi"

@husslerrr : "realistically, Chelsea wouldn’t go for olise probably because as a club we really don’t buy for the future + he’s not a big name yet.

* raphinha is more of a game changer and “looks” the part

* maturity/decision making"

@Tef_majik : "We released him, and now we're monitoring, what are we monitoring exactly?????????, our scout n "valuation team" has to be one of the worst in Europe even though our academy is one of the best."

@TRoyEva60123394 : "Typical !! We do this all the time off load them then buy them back at 10xs the cost, why not hust keep them and put them in the team, but no every manager wants a player thats top draw and pays over the odds for them, when we do not have too".

@AkwubaJohnson : "Very unfortunate! So that boy was at Chelsea? He is very decisive in ball movement."

@Yawboamp : "There's wrong buying back what you let go. Is obvious you can satisfy every player all the time.Get him quick if he's that good".

@Eleniyan93 : "Monitoring a player we released".

@aticoh : "That guy na raw talent, I had mentioned him twice before I saw this news, when I see talent I recognise."

@NCOpurum : "Wow. I will say it again, I will take him over Havertz."

@Samscam254 : "I think going back for Lukaku should be enough lesson not to go back to our ex players".
