Michael Olise’s secret weapon is revealed in Chelsea transfer news as Moises Caicedo sends a message.

Get the latest information on Gabri Veiga, Michael Olise, and Moises Caicedo among the biggest Chelsea transfer stories.

In the competition with Manchester City to land Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, Chelsea may be able to use their own secret weapon.

Olise secret weapon

The France Under-21s international is coveted by both clubs, but Chelsea currently stands out as the front-runner for his services after making a verbal offer.

According to RMC journalist Fabrice Hawkins, that proposal had a value of €30 million (£25 point 9 million), and it would be sent formally as soon as more information about Olise’s injury was available. After Riyad Mahrez left, it seemed likely that Man City would pursue Olise. However, Chelsea is now in the lead because Olise is reportedly more interested in moving to Stamford Bridge than to Etihad Stadium.

With the news that Palace wants to sign Lewis Hall on a loan, according to the Mail’s Transfer Confidential, that advantage may now grow. The Eagles accepting a short-term contract for Hall to join could aid Chelsea in talks with Palace for Olise, particularly if an equal offer from Man City is made.

Caicedo message.

By skipping Brighton’s Monday workout, Moises Caicedo has further demonstrated his desire to sign with Chelsea. The club’s CEO, Paul Barber, revealed that the 21-year-old’s absence from Brighton’s preseason match against Rayo Vallecano last week was due to an injury.

After the 1-1 draw, when asked about Caicedo, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi was less circumspect about whether the injury was severe enough to keep him out of practice and also touched on what might happen to him in the future.

Regarding Caicedo coming back for training, De Zerbi responded, “I don’t know.”. “We’ll find another key player if Moises leaves. I’d be pleased for us if Moises stayed. That’s not my issue. We always advance at Brighton, even if we lose a few players. “.

De Zerbi has now been provided with an answer to his training-related query. It has been widely reported that the Ecuadorian international skipped the session in an effort to pressure a transfer to Chelsea.

Veiga bid.

Gabri Veiga, a talented player for Celta Vigo, is currently being chased by Napoli, along with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Before shining at the Under-21 European Championships, the young Spaniard had a breakout 2022–2023 season that included a final day brace against Barcelona.

With an opening bid of €30 million (£25 million), the Scudetto winners have now formally made their move for Veiga. However, Fabrizio Romano reports that the offer has been rejected.

Celta Vigo has made it clear that they won’t accept any offer below the player’s £34 million release clause, giving Chelsea the chance to match that amount in order to increase their attacking depth.

More news…….

London club is very close to signing the “magnificent” from Chelsea, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The temporary signing of Lewis Hall from Chelsea by Crystal Palace is currently very close to being completed.

That is what reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano claims.

Lewis Hall, 18, is about to leave Chelsea on loan for the upcoming season, according to a late Friday night report from Romano.

In order to sign the versatile youngster, Premier League and London club Palace are reportedly at “advanced stages.”.

Crystal Palace and Chelsea are nearing a loan agreement for Lewis Hall, according to Romano.
Final details are being discussed as negotiations are in their advanced stages and are almost complete.
”.

Hall played a total of nine Premier League games for Chelsea’s first team last season and didn’t appear out of place in the least.

We like the sound of him improving his game this season while on loan at Palace and getting regular playing time.

It will be interesting to see where the English teenager is used at Selhurst Park because he is an excellent option for left-back or central midfield. Of course, the agreement still needs to be signed.

The left-footed rising star, in our opinion, stands a strong chance of eventually joining Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues team.

Hall, who Micah Richards previously praised as “magnificent” on Sky Sports, will be adored by the Palace supporters.

Even at the highest level, he is unfazed and plays with such intelligence despite only being 18 years old. Technically sound and an excellent crosser, too.
