Chelsea are leading Manchester City in the race to sign Crystal Palace star Michael Olise, according to RMC Sport via GOAL.

The report also adds that Olise has agreed personal terms with Chelsea after the Blues made an offer of around £26 million ($33m) for the winger. 

Chelsea’s £26milion offer to Crystal Palace is still a little short of Olise’s reported release clause of £35m ($45m), but it seems to have been enough to move the prospective transfer forward.

Manchester City are also interested in signing Olise and see him as an ideal replacement for Riyad Mahrez, who recently left Manchester City for Al-Ahli.
