Palace threatened to take Chelsea to tribunal over Olise approach

According to Fabrizio Romano, Crystal Palace informed their lawyers of their intention to go to a tribunal over Chelsea's approach for Michael Olise.

The Eagles were angered with Chelsea going behind their back to agree personal terms with their player.

The credible legal threat forced Chelsea to step back, which led to Olise signing a new deal with Palace.

The Blues will now be looking for other attacking players to fill the void left by Christopher Nkunku's injury.
