Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise has signed a new four-year deal with the club amid interest from Chelsea.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, it was reported that the Stamford Bridge club had activated a release clause in the region of \u00a335m for the French Under-21 international.<\/p>\n

But Palace chairman Steve Parish confirmed on Thursday that the London-born 21-year-old would be staying put.<\/p>\n

Olise joined from Reading on a five-year deal in 2021 but was in Chelsea\u2019s youth system before leaving aged 14.<\/p>\n

He is currently recovering from a hamstring injury that he picked up playing for France in the European Under-21 Championship but enjoyed an impressive 2022-23 campaign for Palace in which he registered 11 assists and scored two goals in 37 appearances, earning the club\u2019s player of the year award.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have already\u00a0signed Moises Caicedo this week\u00a0for a fee which could reach \u00a3115m, while\u00a0an initial \u00a353m deal for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia has also been agreed\u00a0as the Blues continue a lavish spending spree which has led plenty to wonder\u00a0how they are abiding by the game\u2019s financial rules.<\/p>\n

Palace, meanwhile, have lost talisman Wilfried Zaha this summer but began the new campaign under boss Ross Hodgson with a 1-0 win away at Sheffield United.<\/p>\n
