Michael Olise rejects Chelsea to commit future to Eagles
Chelsea were expected to continue their spending spree with the addition of Michael Olise after personal terms were agreed but he will now stay at Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace man has not been called up for the senior French national team, despite a number of impressive performances in the Premier League with the Eagles, with players like Ousmane Dembele, Kingsley Coman, Antoine Griezmann, Marcus Thuram, and Christopher Nkunku all being favoured over him.

With the 2023 AFCON quickly approaching, Algeria is gathering stars like former Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez and new converts from France, Houssem Aouar and Amine Gouiri, to play for the Dessert Warriors in Ivory Coast.

Olise could fit well into the current group of stars and would be a superb addition to the squad ahead of the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast coming up in January.
