Hi Ed002, has the club got any interest in Olise? Also I've seen rumours that were looking at Miguel Gutierrez from Girona and Ederson from Atalanta. Any truth in that? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Michael Olise (RW/AM) PSG and Manchester City want him as cover although the departure of Mahrez last summer will mean more opportunities now, but the RW position is effectively Foden's. If de Bruyne or Silva were to depart, he becomes an option again. Crystal Palace has no real interest in selling but know that Chelsea want to take Olise back to Stamford Bridge and Olise has made clear that one day he wants to be playing with his brother. Down the list of AM players Chelsea want but they will again perhaps push for him. His representative has said no other clubs have made an approach for Olise - but maybe Klopp's obsession with Chelsea Academy players will continue as Liverpool have sent scouts - but they will have preferred targets to replace Salah. Manchester United have also sent scouts. Will be available in the summer when a significant release clause will need to be met.

Miguel Gutierrez (LWB) Moved to Girona from Real Madrid who retain a nominal 50% of his rights and can buy him back for a fixed fee of double what they sold him for - so €8M total. Bayern Munich fear losing Alphonso Davies and have Gutierrez as their first choice replacement if that happens. Chelsea have spoken to Girona about the player and both Manchester United and Manchester City have sent scouts.

Ederson (CM) Having a good season and attracting interest from Newcastle, Liverpool and Burnley. Burnley would not be attractive and the situation with Liverpool may well change.}
